Honoring Harry Greenberg in Tompkins Square Park
Back in 2010, Harry Greenberg retired after 23 years as the supervisor of Tompkins Square Park. (Lincoln Anderson did a nice feature on Harry in The Villagerhere.)
Anyway, you may have seen this new plaque in the Park along the Ninth Street pedestrian walkway...

Awww! That's great! Congrats to Harry, he really did pull through the ugly years and gave us all a lovely space for the entire neighborhood.
Yeah Harry. I was there for the presentation. He carried the torch to clean up the place with the help of Amy. They did a great job. I love them both. Melanie Neichin
Harry Greenberg served our community honorably, generously and selflessly, from the riot days of resistance, through the relatively peaceful though unfortunately greatly-gentrified present, making Tompkins Square Park available to everyone.
He is a good man and I was fortunate to have known him....
