"Opened in 1850 and designed as a circular Victorian promenade, Tompkins Square Park contains three children’s playgrounds, a temperance arch (installed 1888), a memorial to the 1904 General Slocum sinking, and a central grassy knoll where people picnic; heavy‑metal musicians often perform on the park’s southern end, and it’s a pleasant place to relax after touring St. Marks." - Robert Sietsema
