Thank goodness gentrification hasn't reached the river yet- otherwise the East River Park will become just as bland, homogenized, and boring as the rest of the East Village. It's the one place left where you can see a truly wide range of people hanging out in the same place. And who is picking the ugly glass, souless condos as being "sights" by the way?
what's wrong with you? the boardwalk and grasses are great...they are a lovely improvement...the grasses move gracefully in the wind and are a very interesting horticultural element...a nice alternative/complement to lawn.
