I wonder if the Flea Market Cafe is paying the city for the advertising space.
The table looks like it's in an open area where skateboarders can allie & rail slide on the table.
First reaction: public ping-pong table, that is so cool. Second reaction: some asshole will find a way to fuck it all up somehow. You simply can't have anything nice around here.
The end is nigh.
@Julio, if someone can ollie up to that table and do a rail slide, god bless 'em. That would be awesome.
how soon before the fratdouches turn that into a beer pong table?
Table tennis is going to attract the fratboy element to the neighborhood.

I was at the CB meeting where this was proposed, asking for an endorsement to the Parks Dept, and they shot it down as a private interest thing in a public space that they couldn't publicly support.
I was so disappointed at that decision, and now happy to see that they have made it come true and didn't need the community board to do it.
As I remember, it is designed to withstand all kinds of horrors, idiot-proof, made out of some special space age concrete. It's a really great idea and a definite plus for the park.
