In the shadow of the State Capitol’s golden dome, this centrally located park hosts commuters waiting for their bus connections, politicos yammering into Bluetooth headsets, events of all sorts, and some of the most iconic public sculptures in the city. Look for a huge gathering of food trucks here Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from May to early October.
