"Quaint little public spot"

Foley Square is a little stretch of green off of Worth street. It's in the middle of a lot of traffic which makes it kind of hard to enjoy the green. If it had more trees that would be better but I'm sure the people in the neighborhood will take what they can get seeing that there isn't much nature to speak of in this part of town. The square is named after a big Tammany Hall guy (Foley) who used to have a bar right where this chunk of land is. There are a couple of statues in the square that I think are ugly but you can't please everyone, I suppose.
There's not much to say about the square other than it's a decent place to sit in the neighborhood. It may even be the best place to hang out in Chinatown, park wise, but I would rather walk over to Washington Square if I lived here.
