MADISON SQUARE PARK?What's going on at Madison Square Park? A tipster sends along some photos of what we're assuming is the next art installation to call the park home, but also could be some maintenance procedure we're unfamiliar with or maybe balance beams for an amateur gymnastics competition.

FINANCIAL DISTRICT?The company that operates the South Street Seaport is bankrupt, and given the chance, they'd like to build this.

"In the wake of the economic crisis, the time has come to reexamine this proposal and recognize the Seaport for what it really is – an authentic, vital part of New York City," the accompanying statement said. The Seaport was the only NYC site that made the list. [CurbedWire Inbox]
