- Amanda BoekelheideApril 6, 2012One of my favorite spots in NYC. Water sounds block the rumble & honk of 5th avenue & soothe rough psychological edges scraped raw by city crush, & honey locust trees reach joyously to the sky.
Gabrielle GolendaOctober 17, 2014The tables are chairs are free standing, so you can move them around as you please. The sound of the waterfall drowns out the honking cars and other less serine noises of the city.
Christina LouiseSeptember 14, 2020Cute pocket park with a few tables and chairs. No smoking allowed. Nice place to eat lunch!
Yera HaOctober 21, 2014The waterfall drowns out the boisterous noises and makes for an incredibly serene spot in the middle of the city.
Alice NamApril 26, 2016An escapist park in the middle of crowded midtown/fifth avenue. The thundering waterfall audible only within this ally.
- The New York PalaceMarch 26, 2012People-watching is also a New York City activity, and you can do it everywhere. One of our favorite spots is Paley Park on East 53rd street (close to The Palace).
Chelsea V.June 11, 2012The Berlin Wall is not at Paley Park it is at the seating area at the Tishman Speyer building at 520 Madison (a couple doors down next to Burger Heaven).

Fernando FigueroaJuly 26, 2015Sit and relax! A piece of the Berlin Wall used to be here, hopefully they'll bring it back soon.
CompassMay 16, 2014Only steps away from busy streets, Paley Park’s waterfall makes it a perfect respite from city life.
Stribling & AssociatesFebruary 16, 2012Largely unnoticed by the public, what appears to be just another public mural in this plaza are actually five sections of the Berlin Wall, placed here in 1990.
The ONLY park where you can enjoy a cigar in NYC. A beautiful space. Go there and enjoy a relaxing time..
John SSeptember 24, 2010Quiet shady spot, good for lunch on a warm day. (Note that the piece of the Berlin Wall is down the block, not in Paley Park.)
Lauren RodriguezOctober 13, 2013Tucked away spot to chill. But not a "park" in the traditional sense. Tiny but nice.
janiceAugust 15, 2013Paley Park is the Other side of Burger Heaven not where the remnant of the Berlin wall is.- janiceAugust 15, 2013under some construction right now but usually wonderful if you can get a smoke free spot!
Chirag ShahJune 22, 2010You can actually see a piece of the Berlin Wall here, it's next to Burger Haven
Get a cigar at Davidoff on Madison and enjoy it at this lovely cigar-friendly zone.
Donovan WeberJune 2, 2011Don't move the tables. You get yelled at by the guy that is paid to sit there and yell at people not to move the tables.
