New York City's Privately Owned Public Spaces

I use the nyc.gov site all the time, it’s a great clearinghouse for New York City related info, even if it can be, on occasion, incredibly frustrating to navigate. That site and the often very useful (and sometimes shockingly effective) phone service 311 often make me feel like NYC is a small town. Both services are chock full of complex information, but there are always a few things here and there that point to the fact that real actual people are working on this stuff.
