Looking at Newcombe Square, a traffic island on the west side of Queens Boulevard and Union Turnpike in Kew Gardens / Forest Hills, Queens. The square was developed as part of the NYC Parks / NYCDOT Greenstreets project, but I don't think it gets very much use sitting right along the dangerous Queens Boulevard.
