Mannahatta Park: Manhattan, NYC

Those walking between the Seaport and the Stock Exchange or Trinity Church often pass through this tiny plaza. While not a destination to seek out on its own, it serves as a handy spot to pause if you are already nearby. The space is packed with benches, functions as a dining space for the lunch crowd, and includes a skateboard park. It is often busy, though off-hours offer a quieter window to sit by the water.
