Zuccotti Park occupies a special place in New York's history. The epicenter of the Occupy Wall Street movement that swept political discourse in 2011, this humble square has been cleared of the protest signs and tents, once more becoming a sleepy little location at the tip of Manhattan. Two sculptures add a little color to the mostly gray park, Mark di Suvero's Joie de Vivre contributing a splash of orange across from a bronze businessman statue which reclines on a bench. A tiny square dense with history, Zuccotti Park has become one of New York's most recent landmarks.
Located in Lower Manhattan and bounded by Broadway, Canal, West and Chambers Streets, Tribeca is one of the swankiest places to call home in the city. The area was put on the map in the 1960's when many budding artists began renovating abandoned industrial buildings and warehouses for more spacious art studios and living quarters. Some attribute this time to the birth of industrial chic design and loft-dwelling which has become a hip architectural style, but back then it was completely revolutionary. The area still maintains much of its architectural history with famous art-deco and neo-Renaissance influences in buildings such as the 32 Avenue of Americas building, The Textile Building, The Powell Building and The American Thread Building.

The arch was designed by the iconic Stanford White and throughout the park you can find many interesting historical features and facets, some are hidden and others are in plain sight.
