Washington Square Park purple

…is usually the preferred route when I have a choice while navigating the city by foot through that part of lower NYC, which is more and more dominated by NYU lately, though walking through the park today on a warm spring afetrnoon, you still get a sense of of that lively youth culture meeting the old chess players, which has always made it such a cultural and social nexus – plus some early  purple color popping up among the renovated park planting beds.
