A piece of frozen time tucked away in soho. Beautiful garden eclectically decorated with remnants from the past, a refreshing change from the modern and urban architecture of the city. Makes for a lovely getaway from the hustle and bustle of it all. Free and open to the public but accepts donations.

Charming garden to relax in with a book or walk through. Some visitors do yoga while others stop and sit on a bench or the grass to eat lunch or a bagel and coffee.

Such a beautiful oasis! The place is magical! City wants to close it! Preserve the garden! Please go to their webpage: ElizabethStreetGarden.com to learn how you can help!

I really enjoyed Elizabeth Street Garden. Its not as big as some of the other places, like Huntington Library or the LA Arboretum, but the places here are much more scenic than those places. Very beautiful. Im not a botanical expert, but it was nice that there was a free tour to talk about the various plants and not to mention that the admission fee was relatively cheap. I would come back.

Wow! We stumbled on this gem while we were waiting for our appointment at New York Shaving Company. The sculptures and the plants blend to make a true oasis in the city. Shot way up my favorite park list.

I love this garden it has such rich history and amazing Antique statues to see an explore.In the summertime it’s the perfect Place to enjoy reading a book, taking the perfect selfies, or just relaxIng with a friend. Highly recommended.

This place is like an oasis in the desert. Ideal for lunch break, mainly because its never too packed. Not a tourist attraction, although its a cool landmark of the neighborhood. Beautiful during all the seasons. Lots of cute sitting areas as well as grass , in case you are into picnics! The statues are very picturesque too, and the whole environment feels like a set of a movie!

I love this garden so much ♡ So peaceful :)

Help save this emerald jewel from corrupt politicians who want to hand it over to their developer overlords. Dont fall for the affordable housing lie. Follow the money.

A lovely place to take a break from your hectic day. ESG offers a respit within a sanctuary that is ripe for cleansing the mind and catching a deep breathe.Try it and consider donating to help keep this gem free and open to the public.Kudos to the volunteers and ground keepers that maintain this oasis. Thank you. See you soon.

Cozy park in Nolita. Hope it opens soon!

Stop by before this park is no more. Please help contribute to its legal defense!

Sanctuary in the city. Perfect place for a moment of tranquility right in the middle of the city. Be surrounded by nature and sculpture.

A wonderful little paradise amidst all the madness. Found this little eccentric spot by accident.

The annual orchid demonstrate to was just magical. Smelling the orchids and also the lighting, enjoying drinks with good quality music made the evening a particular one. There’s live music plus some good stalls at typically the entrance. It seemed as if I was attending some wedding or even a special event. I would for sure recommend anyone to visit their evening shows.

What most of these reviews fail to tell you is that this park is enclosed by a chained linked fence that isnt even opened once a week. The stuff you see in the park is owned by the antique store next to it, which is often the way to get into this park. Store is using it as a rent free area for their stuff.

Haven’t gone fully garden, but attended this orchid festival and really was it a look. Absolutely beautifully laid out and thus much to see. If you’re buying lovely date night, or even a stroll with a child flower-loving-Friend, this spot needs to be high on your number.

Elizabeth Street Garden is a hidden gem in Manhattan. Its a small green space thats more than a community garden. There are statues throughout the space and hidden benches for people to read on. They also host events from morning yoga. If you need a respite from the city life, retreat to this garden for hours. Youll forget youre in New York City.

Sign up. Donate. Volunteer. Beautiful quiet urban green space. Lots of alcoves for picnic and privacy.

What a spectacular place to find some silence

Lower Manhattans BEST garden!

Google maps shows a green space for now, but if our wonderful city has its way, it will be plowed under for senior housing. An assisted living project would be poorly suited for the space, because none of the local shops could be considered affordable. Not only that, but the only green space the seniors could enjoy would be eliminated by their own building. The fine print says the senior housing building could be sold 30 years after completion, and this is the real reason the city is choosing this strategy.The garden is enjoyed by local residents, tourists, and just about anyone finding themselves in the area. They cant grab the land outright, so they choose to thinly veil their efforts behind senior housing.If it werent for those medling kids, the city wouldve gotten away with it!!!The park needs your help! Drop by, visit, donate, sign their petition, and find out more!

This park is beautiful and one of the most underrated spots in Manhattan. On a nice day, its perfect to grab lunch and sit outside, or take calls, or stroll through for a break from the tourist mobs in Soho. Donate to them. Attend the events. Just do everything to support keeping it!

More of a sculpture park than a garden, this location provides a unique outdoor respite from the concrete jungle. Stop in to read, have something to eat, or just wander around looking at all of the statues. Very classic.

Such a lovely little garden

Quirky garden with all these statues.

Lovely oasis in the middle of the city.

It is never open! If you are a working class individual you will never be able to take advantage of this space! The only people who use it seem to be high-end women with yoga mats! Please!

Quaint in NYC,rescue volunteers needed to restore & maintain

One of the few pleasant things left in this hell of a society.

Such a perfect spot to take a coffee break

Beautiful garden in the middle of NYC

Elizabeth Street Garden provides that third place in midst of the busyness of the city. Its small, cute, and convenient and allows for community to take place in the smallest of moments. its so important that funding is kept up to protect this small yet important gem of a place in the neighborhood.

Largely not open to the public, mainly an excuse for a real estate developer to swindle public land from the city.

Fabulous spot to take a break from the bustle of a city.

Super peaceful and a great place to relax and read in nature :)

This gem is in danger of being closed due to development on its grounds. Praying for this oasis to stay!

Quite little oasis of art at the edge of soho.

This has to be my favorite park in the area. I always love getting food from Chinatown and some of the best buys are from hole in the wall restaurants. This is a good place to hang out and enjoy those treats and even journal. It is very well-maintained and it breaks the monotony of the area.

A peaceful oasis in the city that brings the local community together. only wish the area had more green space. needs to be preserved for the public instead of being turned into more housing!

This is the greatest garden in NYC.

Nice, but don’t go out if your way to visit

A great natural small garden in the middle of Soho. Go inside, take a big inhale and relax by the beautiful sculptures and green grass.

Great neighborhood garden at risk of being razed for development purposes. It is a great outdoor space where people can sit, stroll, chat, contemplate, etc. lots of green. Great community space.

SO SAD! Will be destroyed this year. What a pity, this glorious little space of green will vanish. City claims its to house the poor, yet designer buildings springing up all over the area suggest someone is on the take.

My favorite lil green space on NoLita. Always quite and peaceful. Its a great place to sit on the grass and admire the amazing sculptures. Its kind of like a true, secret garden. Love this place.

Its a nice little garden in the midst of the maddening SoHo crowd of galmor stores and restaurants. The peace is welcoming. I hope it continues fighting to stay there against all the builders who want to take this property because a city like New York needs such green spaces. They do memorials for dead friends and relatives as well and that gives those grieving a place to come and reflect. They take in volunteers and almost completely depend on donations- so do you bit!

An isle of peace and serenity in this crazy city. The statues gives it a perfect set up for day dreaming.

Lovely place to relax after work but I wish it was open more times.

A lovely contrast to public city parks, this lot filled with beautiful sculptures and fountains set between the buildings of the lower east side is a real hidden gem

Wonderful oasis. The combination of antiquity style sculptures, topiary, flowers, birds and quiet visitors distinguishes it among pocket parks.

Beautiful, hidden space in a busy, loud city. I cant believe I didnt discover this place sooner! There needs to be more of these in NYC.

Great community garden! The place to breathe and hide from the metropolis chaos

Quiet garden tucked in the LES. Quite popular on nice weekends. Lounge in the grass with friends and enjoy a break from city life.

I love this place nice place to hangout and talk and socialized.

Eccentric little park tucked away in Soho. Great for picnic lunches in the summer.

This unique, beautiful green space is scheduled for demolition by city bureaucrats and real estate developers. Write the Mayor today!

Cool place to relax after work or on your lunch break.

Beautiful place! Go check it out before its too late...

Love this place; quiet little garden in the middle of busy Soho.

Great place to sit and relax. HopeIt doesnt close!!

Just amazing. Not crowded during the week.

Was gorgeous on Halloween. Lots of pumpkin carving going on

Best kept secret in les. Lets keep it that way!

Eclectic collection of art in a peaceful setiing. We cannot let them turn this park into housing!

No commercial photography in the park, theres even a sign in front of the park. This a private garden open to the public. Theres some guys with a table at the entrance monitoring the place. I took my two dauthers to a yoga activity there and there were a couple of guys topless barefoot around the park which I find to be very inappropriate. I complained to the blonde old lady at the table and she basically said that i needed to leave the park because I was taking pictures of my daughters with a DSRL. DSRL arent allowed at the park because the old lady thinks using a DSRL automatically makes you a commercial photographer. I understood, I didnt complain but I was really disappointed until i saw a bunch of school kids taking pictures with a tripod, DSLRs.. Total nonsense. I complained again but to my surprise, they let them finish their little photoshoot. I even asked the kids if they had permission and they said no. So weird.. I even called 311 to see if this was legal, mind you i have all this recored in video because it was a little unbelievable and 311 told me that the city was soon closing the park. So there you go, enjoy it while you can. No DSLR specially if you speak to them with an accent.

I just passed by this place and noticed it was in danger of closing soon. It ought to be saved!

Magical place in soho

This place is a little gem!save it!

Incredible little garden! Very surprising!

Beautiful, relaxing, and quiet corner in the heart of Manhattan

Very tranquil neighborhood garden

Please, Mayor De Blasio, let our Elizabeth Street Garden be! Our spirits need a place to breathe!

An interesting sculpture garden to hang around and lounge.

Tranquility

Awesome!

Beautiful little jewel

You can eating and drinking at there, and relax very well.

Loved the garden!

Please let this place continue to exist

Unique garden

Beautiful, must go.

A gem in the east village.

A welcome patch of greenery in the city.

Lots of statues
