Parks & Nature
If there was a category for "tiny park," I would pick that. It's really a little memorial to a building that once housed the Collyer Brothers, a bizarrely fascinating duo whose claim to fame was absolute seclusion for decades of their lives. You can google them to find out more - it's a pretty interesting story. A good place to visit on a day you are wanting to relax around the neighborhood.
