Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what this plant is. It's in NYC. This is a new home & previous owner apparently was very fond of these plants bc they are everywhere!
Thank you!

I was thinking hosta, also.
For Grep - Hosta is a very commonly used, not to say over used border plant, because it grows well in shade and is very easy. Whoever planted those picked the most boring one. Even if you are going to just plant a row of hostas there's lots more interesting ones.

You certainly could, but since they do seem to be growing well, you might save some, but replace some with other stuff for a mixed border. Hostas do well with ferns, lenten roses, and bleeding hearts, which also like shade:
