Original Hall of Fame along walkway flanking the McKim, Mead & White designed old NYU library building on a bluff above Harlem River. Consists of some eerily lifelike bronze busts of mostly late-19th century notables. On current campus of Bronx Community College. Tricky to get to by public transportation.
