Had a lovely 4th July in the East Village. I found this awesome community garden called 6BC (6th street between Ave B and C). There are a lot of gardens like this dotted around the city but this is probably the nicest I've come across (some others are rather freaky - overgrown and fully of stuffed animals - eww). It seemed well thought out with a variety of plants/flowers and a solar powered koi pond... check it out... I spent a couple of hours reading there.
