Lawn Furniture Right In The Middle Of Broadway!

Posted: September 3rd, 2009 | Filed under: Manhattan

In May, the City closed Broadway between 42nd and 47th Streets to traffic and set up lawn furniture. The result is the Times Square Pedestrian Mall:

The original lawn furniture was hastily purchased from a local vendor and before it was recently replaced, gave the space a sort of whimsical beach look:

We’ve taken visitors there and it’s a hoot. It’s also been profitable as an event space and a bonanza for vendors. No word yet whether it is actually better for traffic — the ostensible reason for the experiment — but people have their theories.
