Abe Lebewohl Park, along with nearby Abe Lebewohl Triangle, were originally bought by the city in 1799 for street-grid purposes. In 1938 it was redeveloped into a seating area and became known as St. Mark’s Park, after the church directly behind it.[1] In 1980 a petition was started for the city to save the park after it had deteriorated throughout the ‘70s. This led to the creation of a weekly summertime concert series, now called ‘Music at Abe Lebewohl Park’, in conjunction with the Third Street Music School.[2] On March 4th 1996 Abe Lebewohl, a local who had helped to organize the petition to save the park and was well known for owning the Second Avenue Deli, which was at the time located just across the street from the park, was murdered while making his daily run to the bank.[3] After the park was renovated later that year, it was renamed to Abe Lebewohl Park in his honor.[4]
