A week in the life of the Cooktop Sidewalk Garden on St. Mark's Place

It was, of course, the story the captivated the city this past week. It started after someone discarded cooktops on the sidewalk along St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. Then that one guy you always see on St. Mark's Place put them to good use.

The rest is, of course, Cooktop Sidewalk Garden history.

Monday!



Tuesday!



Wednesday!





Thursday!





Friday!



Today! [sob]



It was also a week in which we learned that not many people know, exactly, what a cooktop is.



So. Worst sidewalk garden branding ever then?

The Cooktop Garden has legs

[Monday]

We've been watching the little plot of a former tree and, later, tree stump come alive on St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue come alive this week.

The latest.





And, perhaps, this plot needs another name... mostly since no one seems to know what a cooktop is! Some discarded cooktops were used to start this whole garden...
