Description

Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla unveiled the City's first statue of legendary icon Frank Sinatra commemorating what would have been the Hoboken native's 106th birthday.
"It is truly a great honor to unveil this ode to Hoboken's own Frank Sinatra," said Mayor Bhalla. "This will not only memorialize him, but also the impact he has had on the City of Hoboken, its residents, and American society. When visitors come to take photos or tip their hats, I hope this statue inspires them to follow their passion and to work hard until they turn their dreams into reality, just like he did."
The City's over six-foot-tall bronze monument, by internationally recognized sculptor Carolyn D. Palmer, pays homage to the American icon considered one of the greatest singers of the 20th Century. The monumental figure is depicted in a three-piece suit leaning against a flickering lamp post with his hat tipped to one side. Those who look closely will also see Sinatra wearing his pinky ring, as Sinatra's daughter Tina Sinatra, sent one of her father's rings to Palmer to incorporate in the sculpture.
The monument is strategically placed at Sinatra Park along the Hoboken waterfront. The quintessential New York City skyline in the background reminds onlookers of his famous song "New York, New York."
