The Elevated Acre

In what is one the most bustling neighborhoods in all of Manhattan, one would never expect to find a secluded garden paradise hovering above the city streets. But The Elevated Acre in the Financial District puts all that to shame. It's an acre of greenery featuring a sports lawn, an amphitheater, a summer beer garden, and amazing views of the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge. It's a little hard to find, with just an inconspicuous elevator leading you to it, but trust, it is so worth it. After all, this season it was good enough for Men's Fashion Week.
