One of the parks in my neighborhood is Bennett Park in which is found the highest natural point in Manhattan (265 feet above sea level). There's a small marker that points out that spot, in what was the location of Fort Washington, the Revolutionary War camp of George Washington and his troops (at least according to wikipedia.)Tuesday, March 22, 2011

je connaissais pas cet endroit, c'est l'histoire de NYC
It must be so if Wikpedia says so. Whats the views like, or is that the next posts?
I seem to remember a decorative masonry Art Decco subway entrance is not too far away from the rocky park?
What a special landmark.
