...Irish Memorial...

...the Irish Hunger Memorial is one of my favorite parts of Battery Park City.

It is a beautiful memorial to the hardships that the Irish people faced during the Irish Potato Famine.  This lovely sanctuary for flowers, plants, and birds, includes stones and vegetation native to the west coast of Ireland.  Additionally, the stone structure is an authentic Irish cottage of the 19th century.

I love living so close to such a lovely green space in this concrete jungle.  If you are downtown, it is definitely worth the visit!
