Lt. Petrosino Square — Attraction in New York

tiny sliver of a park formed by the intersection of Lafayette Place, Kenmare Place, and Cleveland Place.

this small triangular "urban park" is in high traffic part of SoHo. a little bit of greenery pops up in patches in this outdoor space. benches are both in the interior and the exterior of the gated park. there' a huge CitiBike rack at the northern tip if you are part of the blue bike cult.

Petrosino Square is a great place to sit and sip on a coffee, grab lunch and people watch, catch a breather when shopping in the area or simply meeting up with folks before exploring Soho, NoLita, etc.

pro tip: Petrosino is right across from Eileen's Special Cheesecake Shop. grab some rugelach and enjoy the sweet life.

The seats in the shade get filled up quickly on sunny days and you have to watch out for birds in the trees above. Bird poop on your lunch is no fun. You get the occasional smoker who doesn't realize they can't smoke in there, too. It is an official city park, so regular rules apply and are posted outside...
