Banksy "Hammer Boy" Mural — Attraction in New York

Right on the sidewalk be sure to stop and take a photo with one of the few, out in the open, banksy in new york city. Been traveling thorough European countries and always went on Banksy hunts. This one is as easy as riding the number 1 'red' train and getting off at 72nd street. Walk down 79th street and the precious street art is right in front of your face. Stroll further down towards central park and the historic Dublin bar is right on your left with its historic neon sign still hanging overhead. This bar was even once...

Free to visit and a short walk from central park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, just steps from Central Park, a young rebel in silhouette swings his oversized hammer at the concrete sky.

This is Hammer Boy, a cheeky, energetic piece by the elusive street artist Banksy. Installed in 2013, the black stencil shows a child wielding a sledgehammer, as if trying to knock down the city’s walls or maybe just make a mark in a place that often forgets...

It’s funny how people run around this banksy and don’t even pay attention. I was actively seeking for it otherwise you can easily miss it. Once I started taking pictures a woman approached me and told me she walks by for about 5 years and never realized that there’s a banksy - crazy!
