Bowling Green

Today I found myself outside Bowling Green, the small park located in Manhattan (New York County.). This historic park is perhaps one of the oldest in the city and New York as well, and pictured above is the fence, which has famously surrounded the park since the 18th century.  Originally a cattle market in the 1600’s, the park became a center for later New Yorkers, and despite the financial district and capital of the world being built around it, it still maintains its old school charms.  A great example of how in New York we are literally surrounded by history.
