Tompkins Square Park
TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK
500 E. 9th St.
"I remember the park before it had all its fences and there was a small band shell there. Back then, it had a real homeless population and there were lots of political demonstrations. It's still the kind of place where you seem to bump into everyone you know whenever you go."
