The "sprinkler park" on the north side, where children cool off during the summer, contains a monument to the 1904 wreck of the General Slocum when over a thousand people, mostly German women and children on a church outing, died. This effectively destroyed the German community in the area, known then as "Little Germany". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_General_Slocum

Berlin has the Volkspark in Friederichain, Manhattan has Tompkins Square Park. Its the people's park, I've also heard it refered to as Punk Park, because of some of its more colorful locals. Its become a family friendly park, but still has a few homeless and drug/alcohol addicted residents.

Stuyvesant YC is a membership club founded in 1890. It was originally at Port Morris, then sited on what is now Orchard Beach. It moved to it's present location in the 30's when Robert Moses decided to make Orchard Beach a NYC public park.
The club members are primarily sailboaters although all are welcome.
See the club's website for scheduling and contact information.

With the demise of the College Inn (thanks Columbia Trustees for not renewing their lease), Tom's is now the last greasy spoon in the area. Not a fan myslef, but they have decent fries. Another known fact: Suzanne Vega's song "Tom's Diner" was based on Tom's Restaurant (Ms. Vega was a student at Barnard).
