This is a minor spot you can hit on your way down to the rest of downtown if youíre coming from SoHo or Chinatown. There is a two-and-a-half foot high marble-topped block that could be used for either manuals or grinds. Itís about six feet long on all sides. If your feet are quick enough, you can do a trick down the four stair and proceed to do something on it. There are also sets of two, three and, four that could be skated as a two-up, four-down at the appropriate angle.

You can only skate here on weekends or after 8PM on weekdays.

Lafayette and Franklin Streets. Take the N, R, 4, 5 or 6 to Canal Street, skate east one block, make a right, and skate south on Lafayette until you hit Franklin Street.
