Tour description

Join us on this jam packed tour of lower Manhattan where we explore both the Wall Street area and the Tribeca neighborhood.  This concentrated area is a living museum of New York City history. We will begin by looking at the remnants of Manhattan’s Dutch colony; visiting the oldest bar in the city, and the oldest cobblestone street.  From there we will look at the sites from the Industrial Revolution; the New York Stock Exchange, and a classic Art Deco skyscraper.  Other gems include a visit to New York's oldest church and the 911 memorial.  

 

Along the way we will look at public artwork of contemporary artists from the famous Charging Bull to Jenny Holzer. 

We will meet in the north end of Bowling Green Park, at the north end, there are benches.  I will have a bright colored umbrella!

 

NOTE! 
* Sunday evening tour will include a peak into the St Paul’s chorale music service.
* Tours after 5pm will have the option of going to a special secret rooftop bar!
* Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday noon day tours in October and November will include a peek into an organ recital or choral music at St Paul’s.
