the Irish Hunger Memorial, located on Vesey Street and North End Avenue, near Battery Park, pays homage to those that died in the Great Irish Famine of 1845-1852 and those that die from famines that continue to plague the world. All of the soil, vegetation, and stones used were brought from Ireland to create the memorial.
