I saw this interesting looking bench with flowers planted inside the side arms at Tribeca last week. Isn't this a clever idea? Although I think the bench needs a new piece of wood for the seat.Also, notice the fire escape in the reflection on the windows? I think there is a restaurant on the first floor of the building across the street.
No questions today.

When I was in the single-digit years, a random man (not creepy) pulled a quarter out of my ear on a bench that looked very similar to the one in the picture! I now do that to my nephew!
I love the look of unstained, unvarnished, unpainted wood that's smooth and worn. How nice that someone has planted and maintained flowers for whoever sits there.
Oh, I love that wathered bench!
ce banc, si rustique, est vraiment superbe.
this bench, if rustic, is really beautiful.
i simply love this shot. Nice layout.
A nice bench! Of course, I wonder where I should put my arms ... not on the flowers!?
No question!! So, I have a question: Why no question?
Interesting bench. I like the grain on the wood.
You can answer the question on my blog today: What is it Wednesday!!
That is a really lovely bench. It's very rustic looking, right in the middle of New York City. Love the flowers.
Why not?
(Sorry. I can be a smart*ss that way.)
Nice picture. Love the multi-purpose bench. Too bad they planted marigolds, though. Not my favorite.
There. That could have been your question today. What kind of flowers would you plant in a bench like this?
Answer: Pansies.
Ming...kind of odd finding an old country style bench in New York City..I like it there and the little Merigolds look very pretty...
Nice photo..:)
I like the bench and the flowers are very cheerful. It looks like it belongs in some rustic seaside resort town. It's surprising to see it in New York!
I would like a bench like that for my country house. Do you think it's custom made?
A very nice looking bench - the flowers make it pretty. I love the rustic look, but I would worry about getting a splinter...
I love the bench! In all its weathered glory, especially with the contrast of the flowers. I'd love to bring it home.
I love this picture. The idea for the bench is so sweet. Of course, it does take away armrest area! But, yes, I love it.
A website/blog I write for would love to do a link exchange for our respective blogrolls. It's TheVogueCity (dot com). E-mail me if you'd like to. We want to embrace NY blogs as much as possible.

Lovely bench, Ming!
Peter make me smile saying "I wonder where I should put my arms...not on the flowers?" LOL!
Well, you did ask if we noticed the fire escape reflection... ;) I think you just can't resist. It is second nature.
Lovely bench - I like its distressed look which contrast with the crispy white façade à-la-Martha-Steward.
