OK, I'm going to make a different supposition and hypothesize that that those colorful items are not origami and therefore guess you were at El Museo del Barrio.
In front of the church, behind a gate, atop a pedestal that stands on a foundation raised well above street level, is the statue of Shinran Shonin (1173-1262), the founder of Jodoshinshu True Pure Land School Buddhism. The statue was formerly on the outskirts of Hiroshima.
At the base of the statue, out of view, were the origami figures.
This was a challenging shoot. Because the gate was locked and the foundation is high, I didn't even see the origami figures until after I'd taken the picture! In other words, it was a blind shot--and much better than many other shots I've taken. Even taking the picture of the statue was challenging because of sunlight and the gate.

Hey! Chef and Em, slow down! You're bombarding the poor guy.

the new york buddhist church at 331-332 riverside drive!
Congratulations, Scott! You're hot!
I was outside the New York Buddhist Church, on Riverside Drive between 105th and 106th Streets.
