Have a slice of Joe's pizza and relax. You're in the village in NYC. Can't get any better.

Watching the fountain all lit up at night while enjoying a light breeze, the splashing of water and stranger's conversations is a perfect New York evening.

Mark Wunsch

Nice little spot to enjoy lunch from nearby Carmine St . If it's too crowded go across the street to the smaller, quieter Winston Churchill park .

Andrew Furman

In 1923 they decided to extend 6th Ave South in order to accommodate traffic from the Holland Tunnel , where the original Pompeii church was. Father Demo got the money to move the church !

Christine Cupo

Good spot to grab a bench and hang out. People watching , as anywhere around the city is pretty good.

Amy Cummings

Take your Joe's pizza , your Grom gelato , or your Popbar popsicle over to this park to eat.

Great place to sit, and just relax.

Yes there are tourists , yes there are bums, but grab some cheese from Murray's and look up just at the fountain & surrounding buildings- feels like you are somewhere in Europe
