Where in the City is This?
A community garden. A cyclist. A highrise in the background. Where in New York City is this?

Sorry, I'm going to have to say it's not the lower east side.

Ok, now I'm going to rule out Manhattan Island. The big hint is that this community garden is close to the East River.

I've gotta say that it is somewhere on the Upper Green Side (i.e., Upper East Side) of Manhattan. Whoops- I now see that you ruled that out. Hmmmm. ASTORIA.

Ok, you guys are getting close. So as a final clue, Riddle me this:
What lies within Upper Green Side territory (Community Board 8), but does not lie within the island of Manhattan?
Astoria/sculpture Garden is not correct.

Glenn
I don't why the smily face came up - it should read Community Board eight above.

Roosevelt Island?

Glenn
Yes - Roosevelt Island is the answer.
On the far northside of the island, there is a 124-plot community garden. Each family with a small plot (I'm sure there is a waiting list!)tends it themselves, but anyone is allowed in to relax and enjoy the day.

This was a good contest. I thought it might be Long Island City...

I can send them more pictures of my bike trip over there. Some really cool views of the East River. I also took a picture of a non-descript steel container with wires coming out of it and going into the water which I believe are for the East River tidal power station.
