This second story park in midtown Manhattan, along Second Avenue by the former Queensboro Bridge (now Ed Koch Bridge), and formerly called Cardinal Kitchens, was where my friends and I hung out practically every other night. I'm talking 1980s thru at least mid 90s. We blew up fireworks here. We played manhunt here (a form of hide and seek). We laughed and cried here. We wrote graffiti and drank here. We hung out with girls and smoked cigarettes here. And, some times, we even got into trouble here. It was a chill spot where Manhattan-bred teenagers could socialize and congregate.

This is also where I met my first girlfriend over 30+ years ago.
