From Vanishing New York:
Hua Mei Bird Garden
“Recently, for the first time, I came upon the Hua Mei Bird Garden in Sara D. Roosevelt Park on the Lower East Side at Chinatown’s edge. The garden has been around officially since 1995, but you’ll miss it, too, unless you’re up and walking in the early morning.”
“Stumbling upon the scene is a bit surreal. It reminds you that surprises can still happen in New York City, where so much surprise is vanishing. ”
