In the game
The triumphal arch at the centre of Grand Army Plaza in the game's Brooklyn, crowned by its bronze chariot, with traffic circling around it.
The real place
The Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch was dedicated in 1892 to the Union forces of the Civil War. John H. Duncan designed it, and the bronze chariot on top is by Frederick MacMonnies. The plaza is the main entrance to Prospect Park, laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the designers of Central Park.
Visiting
Come on a Saturday morning for the Greenmarket farmers' market on the plaza. The Brooklyn Public Library's central branch is right next to it, and the Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden are a short walk along Eastern Parkway.
