Not the Lions, the Lionesses!!!
All New Yorkers are familiar with the Lions at the Public Library on Fifth Ave. They are an iconic image of our city.
But how many of you know of the Lionesses?
And, how many of you know where they are?
They are at Morgan Library and for decades I have been waiting for the day the Library would open their garden!
What better time to discover this forgotten secret in our city than summer time?

The Morgan Garden reopens.
Developed by award-winning landscape designer Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, the Morgan Garden includes periwinkle beds flanking the Library’s loggia and colorful, low-height herbaceous beds. A generous grass lawn sweeps out from the modern pavilion next to the Library, bordering the latter and the Annex. Bluestone pathways are laid in patterns derived from the Library’s Renaissance-inspired floors, and cobbled stonework adds visual and textural interest. The garden also displays several antiquities from the Morgan’s collection that have previously been inaccessible to the public.
We will then go check out the current exhibitions and/or find a dinner table at the marvelous cafe.
