One of the more unexpected (and resourceful) power opportunities is on a block like the span of 42nd Street between 2nd and 3rd Ave. There are trees along with sidewalk with decorative uplighting -lamps that shine up under the foliage at night to make the trees glow. It turns out these lamps also come equipped with an auxiliary outlet that accepts plugs. So at every tree, all down the block, there are groups of people charging from the tree.
