Tunnel to another dimension.

Reposting this from a few years ago to remind the block that there are more creative ways to get from 28th Street to 27th Street than 10th Avenue.

On the south side of 28th Street between 10th & 11th Avenues is an arched brick tunnel with lights that says “Jardim” on the top, which evidently means “garden” in Portuguese. The tunnel connects two fancy apartment buildings that were completed in 2019 called “Jardim Sul” (meaning “south,” i.e., on 27th Street) and “Jardim Norte” (meaning, you guessed it, “north” on 28th Street). The architect is a Brazilian named Isay Weinfeld, who has a modernist, minimalist, contemporary style and who has an extensive portfolio of residential and commercial buildings in his native country.

Take us to the promised land, Isay, if not 27th Street.

Update: As Guy Fieri points out in the comments below, this passageway is now “closed to thru traffic.” Further note that you obviously can leave whatever name you want in the comments..
