"Shokupan is the star at Taku Sando, a Japanese sandwich shop that bakes their own excellent milk bread fresh. It’s light, fluffy—almost the texture of a donut—and does double duty on their tonkatsu sando, because it’s also used to make the panko. They have a backyard, but you'll get a view of the East River just a few steps away at Transmitter Park." - willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah
"From 10:30 to noon, urban park rangers teach me how to fish here—how to properly hold a rod, fish ethically, and understand the surrounding waterways—with the session recommended for kids ages eight and up and no registration required." - Alex Erdekian
"After years with its bathrooms closed, the Parks Department says the bathrooms at WNYC Transmitter Park will finally be restored and an outdoor concessions area added; cafes can apply to run the food area through January 12, 2024, and a cafe could open as early as next year. The construction follows the rest of the block — over the past year the cul‑de‑sac on Greenpoint Avenue has blossomed into a restaurant row, with nearby new restaurant Radio Star even referencing the park’s history as a former radio transmitter hub." - Emma Orlow
"I took a long walk through WNYC Transmitter Park, a 6.61-acre green space at the neighborhood’s end that offers a clear shot of the Manhattan skyline (a perfect selfie opportunity), though it’s more of a pleasant stroll than the main destination." - Stefanie Tuder
Good park with nice views near the venue.
