A dramatic 10-story red steel 'tear' monument on the Hudson waterfront, framed by the Manhattan skyline. Ideal for symbolic, architectural and skyline compositions; open-air, no entry fee, reachable by car with limited roadside parking and short walk. Best at sunrise or blue hour for backlit skyline and reflections; weekdays and early mornings reduce visitors. Accessible pathways and memorial plaques offer meaningful foregrounds.
