Description




Managed by East Village artists, this pocket oasis is decorated with local paintings, sculptures, and vegetable plots. During the summer, the space hosts an eclectic mix of plays, readings, game nights, and dance parties. It serves as a historic hub for LGBTQ+ activists, artists, and 'radical faeries', remaining welcoming and open to all. While the setup can occasionally feel slightly closed off to outsiders, visitors are encouraged to step inside and ask the locals about upcoming gatherings.
