Hi friends, welcome back! While the spring weather might be off to a bipolar start, the colors around the city are not. On a teaser spring day, Violet and I strolled around capturing the best blooms around Lower Manhattan. I’ll start this tour at the southern most part, Bowling Green Park. I loved all the red tulips.
Zuccotti Park always looks great for the different seasons.
Unfortunately the waterfront of Brookfield Mall is all boarded up due to a five year resiliency project that protects the waterfront against future hurricanes, but the West Side Highway portion looked pretty this spring.
This is what it looked like in prior years, I was bummed to see it all boarded up.
Rockefeller Park is a popular spot to hang when the weather is nice.
The Children’s Garden in Rockefeller Park looked especially beautiful.
Heading back home…
Last but not least, City Hall had quite a few magnolia trees in bloom.
Hope you enjoyed this spring tour of Lower Manhattan!
Oh so beautiful! So many colorful blooms. We still don’t have much blooming here yet but despite our weather I am seeing more and more growth each day.
It’s been a very pretty spring down here, hopefully your blooms come soon! We need it after this winter.
Beautiful shots. I reposted on my blog! So nice to see signs of spring in a city.
Thank you so much! We really needed a pretty spring after the brutal winter.
I know. Good on you and the City!
So pretty! Spring weather has been all over the place here too. But it’s nice to see some colors.
I suppose I’d be a little worried if the weather was too good to be true ha! It’s nice seeing colors around the city again.
So many beautiful photos Lyssy. We were in NYC in similar conditions about 13 years ago. I am going to do a short post on what our spring looks like soon. Pretty, but not colourful. Thanks for sharing. ALlan
It’s nice seeing the beauty and hope of the city again after a long winter. Spring is a nice time to visit in NYC. Looking forward to seeing your post.
You captured so many wonderful photos! Springtime in Lower Manhattan is so beautiful, dear Lyssy. I just love how the area comes alive with cherry blossoms, manicured green spaces, and pretty flowers, offering a scenic, energetic atmosphere perfect for walking and exploring. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx
Thank you! The landscapers really do a great job in making the city come alive again after winter. It’s always welcome to see some color after a long winter.
So colourful Lyssy and some great photos
Thank you!
Your photographs are beautifully framed Lyssy and so colourful. I love this time of year when everything bursts into life!
Thank you! It’s nice to see all the color and people hanging out outside after the winter we’ve had.
What a lovely time of year in the city…..
Spring is a great time in NYC. It almost smells very nice too…
Beautiful blooms! Looks like the worst of winter has ended in NYC!
Yes! I think it’s time to finally put my parka away. About time now that May is this week.
So many delightful blooms! And your photos are excellent.
Thank you! It is a pretty time of year in the city.
Beautiful pictures. What a great way to teach Violet her colors.
Thank you! You are right, she was very interested in the flowers.
It is so nice that there are so many flower gardens in Manhattan..Many cities don’t bother, but it makes a difference to the people living there. Thanks for the walk..Maggie
It does make a huge difference in boosting the mood after a long winter. The landscapers around the city really do a great job!
I’m just loving seeing photos of New York from an actual local. Stuff you don’t see in the movies.
Glad you enjoyed this walk! After living here I am always trying to figure out in shows/movies where exactly they were filmed.
Thanks for the amazing spring vibes! I love how colourful tulips are, there are a lot here in Belgium as it is so close to the Netherlands and they never fail to bring a smile to my face!
The Brookfield Place photo from “prior years” had me thinking of Dorothy and all those poppies blocking her way to the Land of Oz. Suddenly I feel like a nap! 🙂
Such lovely spring flowers. Our tulips are just starting to come up now.
You make NYC look so beautiful with your shared photos, Lyssy!
Aww how lovely, it’s always great to see the city come to life with colour and blue skies 🙂
Wow, there were so many tulips – they really were the vanguard of spring.
