The best park in NYC for people watching and access to fun, downtown neighborhoods. There's always something to entertain when you decide to stroll through or sit in this park. From immensely talented musicians, to political protestors, to people organizing a large group of fake pigeons in the middle of the pavement, there is always something to see. The arch is a beautiful piece of architecture, as well, and makes for great pictures for visitors to the city. #free #park #history #music #walkingtour #nyc #washingtonsquarepark
