Forget about 'replicas'

Already in New York City, London and Paris

Cleopatra's Needle(s)

Cleopatra's Needle is the popular name for each of three Ancient Egyptian obelisks re-erected in London, Paris, and New York City during the nineteenth century. The obelisks in London and New York are a pair, and the one in Paris is also part of a pair originally from a different site in Luxor, where its twin remains. Although all three needles are genuine Ancient Egyptian obelisks, their shared nickname is a misnomer, as they have no connection with Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt, and were already over a thousand years old in her lifetime. The London and New York "needles" were originally made during the reign of 18th Dynasty Thutmose III. The Paris "needle" dates to the reign of 19th Dynasty Ramesses II and was the first to be moved and re-erected. The New York "needle," was the first to acquire the nickname, "L'aiguille de Cléopâtre" in French,[1] where it stood in Alexandria.

These are not replicas but are three Ancient Egyptian obelisks

And don't forget to check out The Whispering Column of Jerash in Flushing Meadows Corona Park

The inscription on the plaque states:

"This column was presented to the New York Worlds Fair and the City of New York by his Majesty King Hussein of the Hashamite Kingdom of Jordan on the occasion of Jordan's participation in the Fair. The column was received by the Hon. Robert Moses, President, New York World's Fair 1964-65 Corp. This is one of many columns in a temple erected by the Romans in 120 A.D. that stood in the Roman City of Jerash. The columns are known as the Whispering Columns of Jerash."

Interesting fact RE: The Hashamite Kingdom of Jordan

Hashem is Hebrew for 'The Name' as in John 5:43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

Hash·e·mite
ˈhaSHəˌmīt/

noun

1. a member of an Arab princely family claiming descent from Hashim, great-grandfather of Muhammad.
adjective

1. of or relating to the Hashemite family.

More on the current 'king of Jordan' to come...
