The March 2012 issue of ?Travel and Leisure? magazine, which features its 2012 Design Awards, includes Brooklyn?s own Jane?s Carousel Pavilion, winning kudos for Best Public Space.
The wondrously recreated carousel in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn Bridge Park was designed and meticulously restored by Jane Walentas beginning in 1984. See pics and history at THe Smoking Nun blog here.
Travel and Leisure writes: ?In a completely unexpected pairing, a richly detailed carousel (1922) and a see-through minimalist shed (2011) jointly occupy a dramatic waterfront site in the shadow of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. The carousel is open to the public and after sunset, the pavilion?s acrylic walls are illuminated, creating a light show visible across the river and from the bridges above.?
If you haven?t yet visited, it?s a neighborhood must. One can ?Pony Up? for $2 a ride. See Jane?s website for hours and more information. From now through April 5, the ride is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.
