Description

This triangular plaza is anchored by two distinct bronze figures: a memorial to Father Francis Duffy and a dynamic statue of Broadway performer George M. Cohan. The square functions as an open-air observation point, positioning observers directly before the city's well-known red stairs. While the surrounding area remains a constant draw for visitors, the space offers a quieter, more contemplative atmosphere during early morning hours when it transforms into a localized stage for surveying the shifting rhythms of the district.
