FDR ParkThis weekend, the Uni returned to DRAW NYC cart for the first time at this stunning location.

FDR LogoThank you to our partners at Four Freedoms Park Conservancy and the dedicated park staff. We love this recent Four Freedoms Park blog post, which tells the story of the Uni. We’re looking forward to our third 2015 visit to the park in October. Here are some photos from the weekend:

Leslie read a book about FDR with a young New Yorker who was full of great questions. He reported that his grandmother had served in WWII. The Uni reading room is a great place to read but also to talk and meet each other.
