In an ode to both the old Big Apple and its current residents, city officials on Monday unveiled the first nine restored medallions along Manhattan’s Avenue of Americas, with dozens more set to go up in the coming months.
The new medallions depict the national emblems of each of the nations and territories of the Western Hemisphere, with the first nine paying tribute to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Haiti, Argentina, St. Lucia, and Uruguay.
