Belden Place
Belden Place, a culturally-rich street in the Financial District, is a street known for its European outdoor dining flair and culinary traditions. To further emphasize the street's reputation as a "foodie" destination, DSFP partnered with the restauranteurs along the street to implement high visibility, high-impact improvements. Further improvements will include a wall mural and decorative sidewalk stamping.
