Midtown’s Mini-Plaza

This is one of my favorite little spots near where I work. Seems almost too hip for Midtown-East. Comments? Thoughts? What other pedestrian plazas do other folks like?

Lifelong New York City resident, except for a year in Copenhagen during college. Both experiences have taught me a lot about good (and bad) urban design. I grew up in Staten Island and also lived in Astoria Queens for 5 years. Now I live in Manhattan where I founded Upper Green Side (www.uppergreenside.org), a local environmental group on the Upper East & West Sides of Manhattan.
