Rockefeller Center
 |
Where is the prettiest spring display in the city this week? Believe it or not, it's at the Rockefeller Center Promenade (sometimes known as the Channel Gardens). It consists of two rows of ten-foot-tall European hornbeams planted in the beds on either side of the central water tanks. Lush grass, sprinkled with blue, white and purple pansies, carpets the area under the trees. It is all fresh, simple and really inviting. The Promenade displays only last a couple of weeks--they are changed about ten times a year--so this delightful incarnation won't be around for very long. We can only hope that those 28 elegant hornbeams are going to a good home when their gig is up.
