Back to Brooklyn, for a moment. This is The OldStone House located in J.J. Byrne Park on 5th Ave. The park was recently renovated and attracts many Park Slope Parents and their children.
Not all concrete, brick and glass: Manhattan does have some greenery. A glimpse of the ‘New Yorker‘ sign as well as a peek at the space between the buildings, which I find fascinating. I think I ran across a photography book this past year that was actually entitled: The Spaces Between, or something to that effect. All of the images were something like this one below, only taking the idea to a much wider subject focus.
