Nighthawks by Edward Hopper (1942)
Currently owned by the NYC Metropolitan Transit Authority, Mulry Square is a triangular parking lot which was formerly the site of a wedge-shaped diner that was the inspiration for Edward Hopper's famous painting Nighthawks. The diner's tiling can still be seen on the one remaining wall. The parking lot's fencing supports Tiles for America, a September 11 memorial consisting of some 6,000 tiles created across the country.
Named after Thomas M. Mulry founder of the Emigrant Savings Bank and devoted Vincentian.
