Ever wonder why there are so many green chairs in Bryant Park? 💚

It all traces back to a 19th-century French tax loophole.

Parisian café owners used movable chairs to avoid paying taxes on fixed outdoor space. Moveable seating eventually spread to the Jardin du Luxembourg.

Fast forward to the 1970s: Bryant Park was once avoided by most New Yorkers due to daily muggings, a stabbing, drug sales and drug use.

Sociologist Holly Whyte convinced planners to copy Paris and bring in thousands of movable chairs in the early 1990s.

Skeptics warned every chair would be stolen, but almost none were. Giving people control over their space completely transformed the park into the safe oasis it is today.

Ever wonder why the bottom of the FDR Drive is purple? 💜

When architects revitalized the East River Waterfront Esplanade, they tested colors for days under nighttime lighting. Gray paint made pedestrians look sickly, red made people look angry, but a custom shade called ‘Almost Purple’ created a warm, flattering glow.

The plan was to paint just ONE beam to bounce light. But DOT crews misunderstood, assumed the design team loved purple, and painted the entire highway.

When asked to fix it, DOT said sure they would but on the next maintenance cycle in 25 years!

Forward to a friend who has walked right past this and never noticed, or save for your next stroll in Lower Manhattan.
