Another fundraising idea from the Central Park Conservancy: Celebrities, politicians, and designers design Central Park benches. The benches can be found around the park at the Dairy, Tavern on the Green, the Boathouse and the Dana Center at Harlem Meer. Then, in November, they will be on display in different Chelsea galleries, before being auctioned off on November 20.
This is sort of like Cow Parade.





Benches are far more suitable to NY than the Cow Parade. I mean, of what real significance were cows to NY? Chicago had them, but it also has stockyards. Kansas City had them, but it also has a large cattle industry. A park bench, now that's New York. So who will commission a parade of middle fingers?
