Monument to peace
Not that I'm not a big fan of Manhattan, but it's such a typical destination for so many travelers that I'm left wondering what there is to say about it that hasn't already been said a hundred times? Well, this monument is something a little different that you may not have heard of. This monument symbolizes peace, showing a gun that has been tied into a knot so it can't shoot. It is located outside the UN headquarters, designed by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reutersward as a tribute to John Lennon.
