Over the past month, benches in Riverside Park have been quietly acquiring hand-knitted sleeves: stripes, flowers, one with a tiny octopus. Nobody has claimed responsibility, though several residents report seeing two women with a large tote bag moving "with suspicious purpose."

The street has never looked cheerier.
