A Second Avenue Pocket Park Honoring A Deli Legend
A tiny triangle at East 10th Street that remembers the man behind the Second Avenue Deli and hosts summer music.
🎶 A Corner With A Story
Abe Lebewohl Park proves a city break does not need much ground. This Second Avenue pocket park covers just 0.16 acres at East 10th Street and Second Avenue, a small triangular plaza with a place to sit and a memorial flagpole at its center.
The name honors Abe Lebewohl, who turned the nearby Second Avenue Deli into a New York institution. That link gives the corner more weight than its size suggests, and a summer concert series brings live music to the plaza in the warmer months, drawing neighbors and passersby into the same small space.
Hours run from 6 AM to 1 AM every day, which leaves room for a morning coffee pause or a late sit after dinner. Use the park as a breather between neighborhood errands, check the summer concert schedule before planning an evening, and spend a moment at the flagpole on the way out.
