John Calhoun was Vice-President of the United States and New York City is a city in the United States. Calhoun was an Irish-American and Harlem used to be a heavily Irish community. Calhoun also visited New York City, though not in an official capacity.
There's a statue to Mahatma Gandhi in Union Square - and he has a much more tenuous link than Calhoun.

LOL. Fair enough - I'll give you the above. Nevertheless, Lincoln's ties to Richmond are far stronger than Calhoun's to NYC; and the statue is to commemorate an actual event.
