What I wrote thereFold it away
Father Demo Square is a tiny triangular park that’s only a quarter of an acre. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in stunning fall foliage.
The small park was named after Father Antonio Demo, a priest and civic activist from the early 1900’s who served at the neighboring church Our Lady of Pompeii Church. In the Northwest corner of the square, you’ll see the church still stands and makes for a remarkable background.
In the middle of the square there is a fountain that serves as the principle attraction and offers a peaceful reprieve while folks sit on the surrounding benches to rest their feet. Engulfed by bursting tree’s of red, it’s easy to get lost in the enchantment when enjoying the New York City fall foliage.
