The free 3-foot public pool and playground is a meeting place for young families. A seasonal sprinkler cools kids off on warm summer days while parents sip coffee on nearby benches .

Water sprinklers make this a popular SoHo spot in the summertime. Ample seating for weary parents, too.

After handball, head over to the playground sprinkler next to the courts for a quick rinse .

John Hazard

At lunch time, this concrete playground surrounded by benches feels like SoHo's cafeteria . Tables are scarce & the no-sharing-w/-strangers rule seems to be in effect.

Bethany

Sit outside and get some office work done.

The grandma's pizza (cheese, tomato sauce, basil sauce) is solid, and the rice balls were surprisingly delicious (warm cream and rice, breaded)! Great for a quick, affordable meal in Soho. - Lauren Mac
