Customer Reviews
What a powerful and eye-opening monument right in the middle of lower Manhattan. The Irish hunger memorial is a testament to not only the potato famine that killed so many Irish and made even millions more flee the country, but also to famine, starvation and poverty worldwide. Definitely a beautiful peaceful memorial worth checking out.
A magnificent monument with stones specially imported from Ireland and typical Irish plants and grasses. With the right camera pan, you feel like you're in the middle of Ireland. If you then pan the camera upwards, you have the entire Financial District with its gigantic skyscrapers in your sights.
A moving and peaceful tribute in the heart of the city. The Irish Hunger Memorial is a beautifully designed space that quietly honors the lives lost during the Great Famine. Walking through the stone cottage and grassy path feels like stepping into rural Ireland—right in the middle of Manhattan. The quotes and history carved into the walls are powerful and emotional. It’s a reflective, peaceful spot with beautiful river views, and definitely a hidden gem worth visiting. Checkout Wanderlust Swapnil for detail vlog on YouTube
