Irish Hunger Memorial

Never been to Ireland ? Get an idea at the Irish Hunger Memorial - go up and enjoy the view . The rocks are originally from many cities from Ireland . My favorite one is from Cork.

A true slice of Ireland in the middle of the city . There are stones imported from each county and the hillside is planted with native Irish vegetation .

From 1845 - 1852 1.5m people died because of the potato famine in Ireland . This memorial remembers them and the Irish immigrants that came to America. It also feels like youre in the Irish countryside

It's easy to forget about the Irish Hunger Memorial, a lovely but oft-overlooked installation. An inside passageway features news reports on the 19th century's Great Famine . Read more

Beautiful memorial dedicated to the Great Irish Hunger . Design is breathtaking, with flowers , stones and soil imported from Ireland .

This is a really unique and beautiful memorial , and one I had never heard of before. Well worth the few minutes it'll take to see it.

The Irish Hunger Memorial near Vesey Street represents the rural Irish landscape and is a reminder of the Great irish Famine.

Nicely done and unique memorial with nice views from the top. A welcome respite in this part of town .

Dedicated to raising awareness of the Great Irish Hunger that killed up to a million in Ireland between the years 1845 and 1852. The memorial was dedicated on July 16, 2002.

Scenic view of the Hudson. Nice to sit and watch tourists , natives workout, and boats glide on by

You fell like you are in Ireland , but your in Battery Park City . This is a must visit for Irish Americans.

A touching tribute to not only the Great Famine but all famines since

Absolutely stunning. Like being transported to another place.

Gorgeous views . Can't believe I never noticed it before, hidden gem .

what a great site embracing Ireland 's essence! loving my Irish heritage <3

It’s under renovation right now, so there’s no public access, which is a shame!

A little Irish hillside in downtown manhattan. Features a perfect view of the new WTC going up.

Easy to walk past. Visit when it’s open.

Nice new addition to the area.

From the top, face away from the river and consider the causes of hunger.

Feels like I'm back in county Mayo (except for the skyscrapers ). Seriously though the turf and stone Walls make me everso homesick

Check out the garden upstairs.

Beautiful spot

Pretty view of the Hudson at sunset .

For those of Irish descent, look for the stone from your home county .

Beautiful and Unique

One of best Views to watch Sunset over Hudson River

An inspired and beautiful tribute.

Wonderful and underrated site.

Walk up an Irish hillside , in Manhattan.

Could hear birds chirping in the early spring.

This place needs a food court
