Washington Mews and Tiles for America

Discovered this beautiful little street while walking in NY - Washington Mews

Washington Mews is a private gated street in New York City between 5th Avenue and University Place just north of Washington Square Park. It was originally a mews (row of stables) that serviced horses from homes in the area. Since the 1950s the former stables have served as housing, offices and other facilities for New York University.

You saw so many unique sites while in NY. I wasn't familiar with Washington Mews or the Tiles for America. Very interesting.
