MEETING SPOT, LUNCH, AND SHOW AND TELL: Verdi Square
Verdi Square sits on Broadway between 72nd and 73rd, right above the 1/2/3 subway station. The park itself has greenery and statuary, but it's also wedged into the heart of the Upper West Side, where grande dame apartment buildings sit beside glassy new high-rises, and crisscrossing streets create a spindly web around the above-ground subway headhouses.
Within Verdi Square there are benches and chairs, but if you want a different vantage point bring your own stool or be prepared to stand.
Lunch: there are a few bistro tables in Verdi Square and lots of food options nearby, from hot dogs to groceries to sandwich shops
Show and Tell: 2 pm in Verdi Square
Host: Kate Aguirre (832) 606-0101
