That's Duarte Square, where Occupy Wall Street tried to settle after the group was forcibly removed from Zucotti Park by the not-so-gentle police. Alas, OWS was forcibly removed from the barren Duarte Square, too. Trinity Church Wall Street owns both places.
I must admit that the square is much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye with trucks parked there than with riff-raff in tents parked in the area. Plus, the church gets paid for allowing the trucks to park in the square, whereas the protestors wanted the space for free. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Thanks to Ann for the link.
Surely you remember the part in the gospels where Jesus blessed the money changers and merchants in the Temple.
