Review:
The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument is a New York City Landmark that honors military personnel who served for the Union Army in the American Civil War, located in Manhattan's Riverside Park. The iconic monument, which is an enlarged reproduction of Athens' Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, was constructed in 1902 by design firm Stoughton and Stoughton and has been featured in a number of prominent films and television series, including The Odd Couple, Law and Order, and Sex and the City. It is the site of an annual Memorial Day celebration overseen by the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument Association, with grounds maintained by volunteers for the Riverside Park Conservancy. Since 2004, annual free summer presentations of Shakespeare works have been presented at the monument by the Hudson Warehouse Theatre Company.
