Really hoping @elizabethstreetgarden will be saved! It’s such a beautiful green oasis in the middle of Nolita… If you didn’t already know, they have an ongoing battle against the city and developers who want to turn this public community garden space into a rental and retail development. The garden is the only real green space in Little Italy, hosting hundreds of free public programs such as live music, poetry, movie nights, public school educational workshops, yoga and tai chi. It is entirely run by volunteers.
