    NYC parks have been devastated by Hurricane Sandy -- trees down, historic carousels damaged, etc.  Anybody who's ever visited Central Park, High Line, Prospect Park knows how precious and valuable these urban green spaces are.  Help the recovery by donating directly to the public-private partnerships that support our NYC parks.  List and links here -- http://www.nyconthecheap.com/2012/11/help-nyc-parks-damaged-by-sandy/
