The lower west side of Manhattan is getting a new park that will not only add some green space to the neighborhood, but will also serve to honor the immigrants who lived there and helped built the city. The neighborhood was once the home of immigrants from Lebanon and Syria, and later became an enclave for artists and writers. Now, what was called "Little Syria" will feature art by artists with a connection to the area and a pedestrian pathway to the 9/11 Memorial.
