Which of the following landmarks is not located in New York City?

The story behind the answer

Lincoln Memorial is the only option not in New York City—it stands in Washington, D.C., on the west end of the National Mall. In contrast, Central Park, the Empire State Building, and Times Square are all iconic Manhattan landmarks. Think “Link to Lincoln = D.C.” to remember the difference.

Dedicated in 1922, the Lincoln Memorial was designed by Henry Bacon and features a towering statue of Abraham Lincoln by Daniel Chester French. It has become a powerful symbol of American ideals; notably, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech on its steps in 1963. Inside, the walls bear the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, reinforcing its role as a national site of memory and reflection.
