The Daily News voted CLG as the city ’s Best Community Garden . Although it is landscaped and maintained by a group of members and volunteers, the garden is open to all visitors. Also open to dogs!
Sssh. One of East Village 's best secrets.
One of the hidden gems in east village . Come watch the birds and read some books
Definitely a hidden gem ! Come here instead of Tompkins Square Park .
Beautiful little garden to relax in. Just be sure to bring bug spray
This is a great place to sit and relax, bring a book or laptop. There's a cute swing and rocking chair too. Go to Lula's down the block for great ice cream !
Small and cozy garden for relax
Dogs are allowed, but as with any park , keep them on leash. And as they say... if they poop, you MUST scoop!
The swinging porch is awesome!
A mini Eden from the concrete jungle.
go to sunny and annie's on the corner of 6th and B, pick up a sandwich , and eat it under the weeping willow.
Small and hidden, but when it's open and you can find a space, great place to savour the gardens and think. - Taylor
