Amiable Child Monument

If you are going to visit Grant’s Tomb or if you are into New York City curiosities, I would definitely visit this monument. The history is on the marker. It marks the place of a child who fell to his death from the high cliff. Sad story. Lovely resting place.

Okay, so this really isn’t a 5 star place. Seriously, don’t expect too much of it. it’s just a random urn and historical marker sign.
I’m only giving it 5 stars because it brought back some memories of my childhood when I grew up playing the Legend of Zelda.
I imagined myself to be the Link, little boy running around a strange frightening world trying to save the Princess Zelda.
Little did I know, living in NYC gives me the same exact feeling. I don’t know what’s going to surprise me next. From funny and dangerous characters, hidden spaces, NYC has a little bit of everything!
When I biked around town one day, I normally zoom past this place, but I noticed one of those historical markers. It gave me a slightly eerie but creepy feeling to see this solo grave site here.
If you’re going to Grants Tomb, it is worth the walk to come check out this place. Just walk north along the walking path that runs parallel to Riverside Drive.
