Stevenson Place, a back-alley behind Market St., connects to the plaza through this passageway:




 
 

Getting there
This large outdoor space can be found at the south edge of Battery and Market Street. It is along the sidewalk on Market Street and is very easy to discover. It can also be accessed at the back of the site through Stevenson Street. In this read entrance, towards the center of the site, there is a stairwell that goes up to a small, underdeveloped open terrace that can view the entire site from below.

     
 

Surveillance & Gatekeepers
There are no visible security cameras or personnel to be found on site but since this space is adjacent to a high traffic sidewalk, any rash or inappropriate behavior will perhaps be resolved by good Samaritans.

     
 

Local Dress & Behavior
Since this space is one of the most public, business boardroom clothing may be overdressing for this type of atmosphere. Business casual to street casual clothing seem to be the norm in this noisy environment. Cell phone use, eating, socializing, people-watching, and being alone are all normal and accepted activities.
