If you find yourself in Battery Park City, consider heading to the corner of North End Avenue and Vessey Street.  Here you will find the Irish Hunger Memorial which serves as a remembrance of The Great Famine in Ireland from 1845-1852.

This is a unique space with rolling grassy hills, stone cottage and solemn hallway that takes visitors to the inside of the structure.  The Irish Hunger Memorial is a little out of the way if you are not familiar with New York.  One of the easiest routes would be to take the E train down to the World Trade Center stop and walk west toward the Hudson.
