This beautiful area with a water cascade is Paley Park. Located in the heart of midtown manhattan. It’s the most beautiful at night, where it’s lit and it looks like a waterfall. There is a seating area where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the view. Perfect for chilling with your friend or alone reading a book. During the day it’s a gorgeous lunch spot. It’s a cute little escape from the busy city. I stumbled upon it accidentally and wondered how I didn’t know about it before. It’s open to the public 8 am to 8 pm and I believe smoking is allowed (if that’s your thing) There is also an area inside that serves food. 📍3 E 53rd St, New York, NY 10022
