I’d rather live in a lesser part of town with grass and plants and trees than in the mid-city core of carbon and steel and concrete slabs.

It just kills me from within.

Central Park is a grand oasis in an urban desert. It would be so easy to sell off that land for big money and parcel it out to more concrete and steel — but there is a divine protection of the land and that makes NYC an extremely special and unique place.

I love sitting near a tree and taking in the view of a nice park. During the spring and summer on Shabbos the Rabbi of Ohab Zedek gives a class at Riverside Park which is nice for both the surrounding area and great information.
