Conversation, a grouping of colorful public seating (by artist B. Morgan) is located in the rear of the plaza at 77 Water Street, just off Water and Old Slip in NYC’s Financial District.
When I took these photos, a lot of people, appropriately, appeared to be using this area to sit and talk on their phones. This space is also adjacent to where a bunch of food trucks park, so it’s a convenient place to sit and eat and people watch while the weather is still decent.
Those big pink partitions also make it an ideal location to hide from your co-workers while you are on a smoking break.
I worked at 32 Old Slip for many years. These are at the building in front on Water Street. This building is really wacky. There is (was) an old time candy store built into the building and on the roof there is a mock runway and a bi-plane. There is footage of John Lennon and Yoko Ono wandering around downtown and they visit this building. Is the candy store still there?
