The cache is not at the listed coordinates.
The listed coordinates are for a well known sculpture tower in
the 6 & B Community Garden. This centrally located garden is
one of the most photographed locations in the East Village as it
appears in the title credits of every episode of NYPD Blue. It is
also frequently used by the Law & Order TV shows for many
purposes. If you start here you will find a well kept community-run
garden, that provides an escape from the city streets. At any of
the community gardens, if you find the gates open, you are welcome
to enter, look around and stay awhile -- the garden folks are
always friendly. To find the final cache you will have to visit six
other gardens within a few blocks. They all contain caches and
those caches contain clues necessary to complete this cache.
The final coordinates are:
N 40° 43.ABC W 73°
