I worked  downtown until three years ago and frequented the park area quite a bit at lunchtime. Went downtown today for lunch. After being told of a 30 minute wait for a table at Candy Apple Cafe went over to NOLA for a great lunch. Was simply amazed at the difference in the Park with the outdoor cafe and overall activity with kids and people all over the place.  Was truly impressed and encouraged!!  I hope,they keep the yarn around the trees, reminded me of a similar thing in a Seattle park a few years ago.
