Park Worth Square reviews
7 Another beautiful view of NY! Before I leave the city in March 22, I sat there for a moment and thanks God and my family that I can enjoy the place!
Sit, inhale, exhale and thanks God
It's pleasant stop to set across from Madison Square park. To see the scenery
The Worth Obelisk is directly across from the masonic lodge (freemasons) and it aligns in a perfect line with two other obelisks - Cleopatra's needle and obelisk at Saint Paul Chapel.this country was built by freemasons who trace themselves back to Egyptian stone workers.does this alignment of the obelisks mean anything?
Great views, calm amongst the bustle of the streets around. Forgotten general Worth's tomb. Counterpoint to nature of the park across the street
So sad. Most of the reviewers here and certainly the vast majority of the visitors to Worth Square do not even glance at who it was put here to honor. And that is a shame because William Jenkins Worth was a fascinating character. Raised as a Quaker he served a nearly lifelong career in the US Army during its early years beginning with the War of 1812. I knew of him because I am a born-and-raised Floridian and Worth fought in the 2nd Seminole War, which took place there. He also commanded troops and fought battles during the war with Mexico in the 1840s. Amazing his longevity in the service. So take a moment to look at the monument and note the names of all those different battles he fought in and you will see them stretch from the Northeast to Florida to modern day Texas and Old Mexico.
Great little area for food trucks and snapping pics of the popular Flatiron building, as well as exceptional surrounding shopping.
Also, I learned a notable tidbit from another reviewer: “one of two monuments in the New York City that is both a memorial and a mausoleum-General Worth is buried here. The other monument and mausoleum is Grant's Tomb. ”
