Park(ing) Day: More From Manhattan

The folks at HR&A Advisors set up an outdoor office in their Columbus Circle Park(ing) spot, complete with wi-fi and business attire.

It may not have had sod, but this spot on Broadway and 74th Street got a lot of attention from curious passersby. Maybe in part because of the great snacks. (Thanks again for the granola!)

Here's a solar panel-powered laptop on W. 88th, near Broadway. This was probably the quietest spot I visited all day. Tucked away on a neighborhood street, it was ideal for afternoon reading.

That will (probably) do it for us today. We're sure to have more Park(ing) Day coverage next week, so please keep those pics coming to tips@streetsblog.org, or uploaded to Flickr with a "streetsblog" tag.
