Lonely Planet review

In 1874, 7000 angry workers took on 1600 police in this leafy enclave, and history's been repeated many times since then - Tompkins Sq Park lies at the heart of every East Village rebellion. This wide, pretty green spot is pastoral by day, communally welcoming at night, and still a bit sketchy in the wee hours.
