Video: Best Green Roofs in New York

In August, just before Hurricane Irene hit, I visited New York City in search of its most interesting and attractive green roofs. The intention was (and still is) to produce a print story about green roofs in NYC, but the subject matter cried out to be videotaped.

So I whipped out the video camera and here are the results. Based on research and visits, I believe the five sites captured here represent the best green roofs in New York, and by “best” I mean I the most unique, diverse and beautiful. If there is a fabulous planted roof in New York that I missed, or another unforgettable spot elsewhere in the country that deserves attention, please let me know in the comments.
