The usable portion of this plaza, which encircles its host building along Livingston Street, Smith Street, Schermerhorn Street, and Boerem Place, is a triangular area located in front of the lobby at the corner of Boerem Place and Livingston Street. Two fixed black-tile planter structures contradict their exterior rugged image by presenting a delicate array of multi-colored annuals, along with six trees, in various ground- and waist-level recesses and trays. Hidden from street view on the planter’s interior walls are six built-in concrete benches. Perhaps in response to the fact that smokers have migrated to outdoor plazas and arcades as last refuges for lighting up, a sign prohibits smoking in a portion of this space.
Unlike most outdoor public spaces in Manhattan, the space here is part of a lower-rise physical fabric that includes the roughly eight-story slab of the host building, a bulkier older building across Boerem Place, and a row of four-story structures on Livingston Street. One block north along Boerem Place is Brooklyn’s civic space, including Brooklyn Borough Hall, a Greek Revival structure. In the distance down Adams Street, a continuation of Boerem Place, is a view of Manhattan and the Empire State Building.
Is the space available for a Pop-Up markets? Thank you
We don’t handle bookings for the owner. Thanks for asking.
No public space signage on premise. Area is currently under scaffolding due to work on building.
Scaffolding that prevents or impedes public access to POPS is all too common. Jerold Kayden
