Home to a wonderfully diverse range of artworks, First Street Green Art Park continues to bring intrigue and charm to Houston Street and Second Avenue — where the Lower East Side meets the East Village. The bewitching image featured above was painted by stylemasters: Diego 127, Seb Gorey and Curve. What follows is a small selection of murals — curated under the direction of Jonathan Neville — captured on my recent visit to the park.
