"The Elevated Acre at 55 Water Street has existed since the 70s but was raised to its current condition in 2005 by Rogers Marvel Architects. This elevated park offers a breezy lunch spot, waterfront views and a brief escape from the concrete jungle. The lush outdoor space is used as a venue for outdoor movies, weddings, and dance performances. On weekdays, the lawn is great for napping, picnicking, and seeking solitude among the flora-hidden benches. If you're feeling decadent, bag the sack lunch and enjoy the classic fare at its water-facing restaurant, Café 55." - Paperless Post
