Bellevue South Park

Across from Bellevue Hospital is a very pleasant little park:  Bellevue South Park.

It was cold and windy the day I went by there, but you can see that NYC has done a nice little job with the place.  And they’ve done one of their great little tricks:  lots of places to sit.

The seating doesn’t show up particularly well in the pictures, but it’s there.  I imagine it’s one of those places that visitors to Bellevue can escape to on occasion to smoke a cigarette (rapidly becoming illegal anywhere in NYC) or to avoid the hospital atmosphere.
