Formerly the garden of the residence of Robert Sidney, Duke of Leicester and French ambassador between 1636 and 1641, it first became a public garden in 1874 before becoming a busy pedestrian square.

Place emblématique des théâtres comme broadway à New-York! Il y a toujours énormément de monde, surtout des touristes venus du monde entier mais ça vaut le coup de s'y balader pour l'ambiance, les restos et les affiches des comédies musicales qui envahissent les rues et les édifices.

Une place très animée qui change d'aspect au fur et a mesure des saisons.
Et la police présente sur place se prête bien au jeu des photos :-)
