While waiting for the ferry to
Sandy Hook, we stumbled across an escalator and one of those
NYC park signs pointing up. Never one to shy away from seemingly isolated, potentially fascinating spots, I marched right up those stairs to see where they led (common sense be dammed!).
Situated at the top of the stairs was a beautiful garden complete with large grass (astroturf) lawn...fairly unusual for lower Manhattan. I did a little research and discovered the space is known as the
Elevated Acre and can be rented out for parties and events.
The space overlooks New York's original
first police precinct. Currently, the building functions at the
NYC Police Museum.
All photos by me.
