Most of the men who pulled the statue of George III down were slaves (NYC had a considerable number of slaves, and slavery was not illegal in NY State until 1821).
And finally, the second residence of President Washington in NYC was at 30 Broadway, just up a bit from Bowling Green.

Does that building still exist?
Thanks Pharmboy.
