Between the Hamilton Park Observation Deck and the Liberty Steps in Weehawken, there's a WWI Memorial with its own lookout. Peering down from there, you can see the remains of a grand, abandoned staircase (40°46'19.4"N 74°00'56.9"W) —it really makes me wonder what this cliffside path looked like in its prime.
Update: I found additional information and a substantial collection of historical photos of this old stairway, shared here:
