Country Garden...the very words conjure up images of tree swings and trellises, hollyhock's and pole beans, vine-ripened tomatoes and dewy grass tickling sleepy bare feet. Unlike more rarefied formal gardens, which are primarily stages for precise arrangements of plantings, the country garden is a more user-friendly setting, perfect for quiet afternoons in a shaded hammock, boisterous holiday celebrations, and easy-living family suppers at the picnic...

The great story of New York City in the past half-century has been its near collapse and miraculous rebirth. A battered town left for dead, one that almost a million people abandoned and where those who remained had to live behind triple deadbolt locks, was reinvigorated by the twinned energies of starving artists and financial white knights.
