The Brooklyn Botanic Garden

As  most of you have already gathered, I simply love this place. I do decry the apparent decline in the architectural quality of the place. The new structures have gone from the industrial look of the new green houses erected in the eighties  and that appear dated, to the airline terminal look of the latest additions: the entrance, welcoming area and gift shop. To bad. If this is supposed to be progress, it has no staying power. The new structures pale in comparison to the majesty of the classic original structures. The public areas and the flowers and trees remain absolutely first rate and make this one of the best venues in New York.
