It isn't a Heracleum, you can clearly see the woody stems, and opposite
leaves, along with a number of flower buds. I suspect that it is probably a
Viburnum, several of which are called Snowball bush. Viburnums can have a
lot of variability in leaf shape between species, but opposite leaves, and
last year's bark shredding easily are usually pretty good identifiers.

hello Sean,

I submit but never seen such deep divisions on guelder-rose - plant must
have escaped from a tropical garden - surely Gnarlie will post again
when flowering

cheers kauhl

Some more close-ups of the same plant:

I was skimming a field guide, and an illustration reminded me of your
plant. It might be a sanicle (Sanicula sp.)

Hi. here is the Google Map with street view:

Though these seem to be popular around the lower east side. I see them
in Stuyvesant Park and all over really.

Odd that I am unable to paste a long Google Maps URL without having
Google break it.
Here is a short URL:

The plants are growing alongside the park, behind the police vans.

Oh and yes, Manhattan is great.
