'Hi all, New York City abounds with mosaics of all kinds if you know where to look. On a walk through Riverside Park in the Upper West Side of Manhattan I came upon Grant''s Tomb near West 122nd and Riverside Drive. Wrapping around the big grey sandstone Greek temple looking mausoleum is a extensive broken tile mosaic bench. It must be more than one hundred yards long and is in the style of Barcelona architect Antoni Gaudi.
