Great little square to sit and enjoy the local atmosphere and people watch or catch up with a friend.
This tiny park on the border of the West Village and Meatpacking is a great place to relax with a cup of coffee and maybe even get some work done (free WiFi !).
Selections From The Modern Landscape by artist Kenneth Pietrobono uses botanical signage to rename existing plant life of the park to reflect the cultural environment. See it until September 2, 2013. Read more
It's assumed that this park is named after President Andrew Jackson, since "Jackson Square" was first mentioned by newspapers in the 1850s, shortly after Jackson's death in 1845.
A cute little park between the West Village & the Meat Packing District. Love the fountain here.
One of my favorite little parks in the city . Free WiFi !
Nice display of pumpkin carvings at Halloween time--also nice place for a little break
It's sort of hidden. Tiny but still peaceful even though it's surrounded by traffic.
Bring your dog and just sit there with a cup of coffee
Free wi-fi! Also, don't feed the birds as they will tell all their friends.
Stop here for some peace and quiet
This park is a triangle because two of the sides (Gansovort St and Greenwich Ave) were formerly Native American footpaths used to get to a trading post on the Hudson River .
Nice quiet place to have lunch .
Grab a smoothie from Equinox on Greenwich and sip on it in this park ....very relaxing
Adoption event today! Really great animals looking for a "fur ever" home
Right on the intersection of 8th avenue and 14th Street.
If you need a hobo, this is the place to come.
That step leaving the park westward is a woozie!
This park has free wireless! And it is awesome.
Lots of great seating around here.
The wifi portal would not come up on my iPhone so I couldn't connect. :(
You can use New York City free wifi after log in
If you're hungry, go across the street to Village Pizza , a staple of the area.
