Term of the Day: George M. Cohan's back pocket

George M. Cohan's back pocket--the planter surrounding the statue of the composer and performer George M. Cohan on the island near 46th and Broadway...during industrial events on the island, which is known as Father Duffy Square, after the heroic World War I chaplain of the Fighting 69th (the Irish unit, many recruited from Hell's Kitchen), bottled water is stored in the planter for the working stagehands. Jimmy Cagney played both George Cohan in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and a young soldier mentored by Father Duffy in "The Fighting 69th." Cagney was a Broadway hoofer before he became a movie tough guy.
