Pocket park #2

Across the street and half a block away from my building is another little public space, a "pocket park" at the dead end of 65th Street.



It's also labeled "Sutton Place Park" like the one directly across the street on 57th Street.



It's wedged in between two large apartment buildings and the approach is not all that attractive, you're even met with a cheery sign that says "DEAD END".



But if you climb up the ramp to the higher level you get a decent view of the East River and the Queensboro bridge.




There are some benches for sitting and a little rectangle of grass. It's not much to look at but at least it's something, right? Better than nothing I say.



Actually the view looking back toward Midtown is quite nice, you can see a bit of the Sony building's Chippendale top peeping thru the canyon off in the distance.
