Elizabeth Street Garden gets legal win against NYC to hold off eviction - for now

"This is our cultural center in Little Italy and we don't have the green space that others take for granted. This community garden means the world to the constituents and to the city ... we will be losing a lot if the city moves through with this."

"We have to house New Yorkers. The garden is a beautiful place, but there's a great beauty to be able to house New Yorkers."

"The stay remains in effect - we are pleased. Keeping this space open is crucial for our community and we will continue to fight for it."

"While garden supporters - including Robert de Niro, Martin Scorsese and Patti Smith - call the sculpture garden a critical respite from bustling city life, the mayor doubled down on his argument to house New Yorkers wherever he can."
