Description

The public bench has long been a staple of New York life, in the city's parks, waterfronts, cemeteries, or bus stops. But the New York City Bench may be disappearing, according to reporting from Anna Kodé, reporter for the Real Estate section of The New York Times, and author of the article, "The Slow Death of the New York City Public Bench." Kodé discusses what she found, and listeners share their favorite bench in the city to sit and scroll their phone, read a book, or ponder life's deepest questions.
