Just like Liverpool, there are plenty of tributes to Lennon in NYC.  Without a doubt, the most famous would have to be Strawberry Fields in Central Park.  Most recently in July 2015, Amnesty International (along with Yoko Ono, Bono and The Edge) unveiled a special tapestry that’s on display at Ellis Island.
