MoRUS, the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space is an archive and active radical history space for housing, community garden and environmental justice advocates.

A great place for active distancing, Pier 36 offers riverside refreshment and space to walk, run and bike. Access Pier 36 from Rutgers or Montgomery Street at the East River. Bonus - the south side connects to the new Eco Park at Pier 35 with excellent seating, swings and views. Just south, under the FDR Drive, there's a public gym!

Siempre Verde Community Garden

Growing lots of greens and fresh veggies for soup kitchens this season, the Soil Start farm is based at Earth Matter, so it has great compost-rich soil! Yes, there are chickens! More to come, and hopefully, you will be able to visit this summer when Governor's Island reopens.

Though small, this park is full of nature and culture. There are Redtail Hawks in residence! American Elms, now a rare species, make the park unique. A wonderful tree map can be seen on Inhabitat, too.

Year Round!
