Elizabeth Street Garden

The Elizabeth Street Garden is an unexpected sanctuary nestled within a dense grid of Manhattan concrete. You are looking at a one-acre space that began as a neglected, debris-filled city lot in the early nineteen nineties. Its transformation started when a local gallery owner named Allan Reiver began clearing the land and populating it with sculptural pieces from his personal collection, turning a derelict plot into a whimsical, open-air gallery.
