Kimlau Square: Park, Manhattan, NYC

This compact space sits right in the thick of the neighborhood, surrounded by local buildings and the busy comings and goings of nearby shops. It is a highly sensory spot for pausing to take in the sounds and smells of the streets or watching the many birds that gather here. After dark, the square shifts in character as the surrounding Chinatown signs light up, making it a chill, open-air vantage point to observe the area's daily rhythm.
