On the Grid : Elevated Acre
"The Elevated Acre at 55 Water Street has existed since the 70s but was raised to its current condition in 2005 by Rogers Marvel Architects. This elevated park offers a breezy lunch spot, waterfront views and a brief escape from the concrete jungle. The lush outdoor space is used as a venue for outdoor movies, weddings, and dance performances. On weekdays, the lawn is great for napping, picnicking, and seeking solitude among the flora-hidden benches. If you're feeling decadent, bag the sack lunch and enjoy the classic fare at its water-facing restaurant, Café 55." - Paperless Post
