Bowling Green

Nothing green at Bowling Green this time of year. At the far end of the park is the stretch of Broadway known as the "Canyon of Heroes" (between here and City Hall) where "heroes" are sometimes honored with a ticker tape parade. Maybe this year will be the New York Mets' year to win the World Series and parade up the Canyon of Heroes? C'mon Mets!
