This is quite an unusual memorial with wonderful views of the Hudson River. It is a memorial to all those who died in the Great Irish Hunger and it is interesting that the memorial looks towards the Statue of Liberty, where many Irish fleeing the hunger arrived and settled in the USA.Unfortunately, there is no information at the site that explains the different aspects and I think it is far too easy to miss much of the symbolism through a lack of information. Not everyone wants to or even can access everything on their mobile, so having nothing there to explain such an important memorial is, in our opinion, a mistake. The names on the boulders, the origin of the cottage ruin, the vegetation and even the view of the Statue of Liberty are all for nothing, if not highlighted and/or explained. A great oversight and a disappointing outcome for what should be an important memorial.It felt as if the people of Ireland were being forgotten and overlooked yet again.

You will find this memorial at the Hudson River and in a park. So many Irish fled to New York to escape the famine and the Irish continue to be an important part of the city's population. This memorial is to the suffering of the people during this horrible period of history.

This memorial is similar to Little Island with some nice gardens and some elevated paths. This structure is free to enter, and it affords a visitor some excellent views of the New Jersey Hudson River Skyline. This area is on the Battery Park Walkway.

Lovely spot, surrounded by sky scrapers it is a bit unexpected but lovely that you can also just about see the sea - well chosen, shame about the complete lack of signage as I think it’s not well known.

An oasis in the middle of the urban Manhattan skyline, the Irish Hunger Memorial often goes unnoticed by passersby. I knew it was somewhere in Lower Manhattan, but even then, you still have to look it up to find it.Once you’re there, it really feels like a piece of the Irish countryside was dropped right into the city. You get views of the Hudson River, and even the Statue of Liberty in the distance.Everything about the memorial is thoughtfully designed from the entry tunnel to the roofless stone cottage, from the native Irish plants to the 32 stones representing each county in Ireland, all laid out across a gently sloping hill.Definitely worth a visit if you're into Irish history or you are in the area.
