Grand Army Plaza
Grand Army Plaza is a square at the southeast corner of Central Park in Manhattan, New York City, at Fifth Avenue and Central Park South (59th Street) intersection, covering two blocks on the west side of Fifth Avenue between 58th and 60th Streets. It contains an equestrian statue of William Tecumseh Sherman on its northern half and the Pulitzer Fountain on its southern half.
Grand Army Plaza was designed by Beaux-Arts architecture firm Carrère and Hastings and completed in 1916. It was renovated in 1933-1935, 1985, and 2013. The plaza has been a New York City scenic landmark since 1974.
Duffy Square
Duffy Square, officially named Father Duffy Square in 1939, is the northern triangle of Times Square in Manhattan, New York City. It is bounded by 45th and 47th Streets, Broadway, and Seventh Avenue. It is now well known for the TKTS reduced-price theater ticket booth located there.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Lowes Lane connected Bloomingdale Road to Eastern Post Road. The west end of the lane was at the modern Duffy Square and the east end was at the trendy Third Avenue and 42nd Street. Lowes Lane and Eastern Post Road were suppressed late in the 19th century, but Bloomingdale Road survives under the name of Broadway.
