New York’s historic Washington Square Park resembled a dirty garbage dump Saturday, after hundreds of maskless revellers descended on the area to celebrate the city s return to near-normality.
Garbage and litter was strewn across the pavements and lawns in the park Saturday morning with the Big Apple s pigeon population seen taking advantage of the remnants of food left behind from the night before.
Empty bottles of booze were scattered along the benches, while cans of beer (and who knows what else) floated in the water of its iconic fountain.
