Overview

Lower Manhattan IS American History! This is where the original Dutch colony of New Amsterdam was. The first Capital of the United States of America was here, Washington took office as our first President here, mere blocks from where the last British troops left America just six years earlier.
The Financial Heart of not only the country, but of the world is in Lower Manhattan as well as the world's largest gold supply. The world watched in horror as the twin towers were attacked and fell on September 11, 2001.
I am a native New Yorker; I was a stock trader who worked here for 20 years. I was in Manhattan on Sept. 11. I have long loved sharing the history of this amazing island and with me, you won't get a tour guide going through the paces, you'll get a true native sharing oral histories of one of the most amazing places on earth.

An amazing structure built as part of the recovery after the attacks; The Oculus is beautiful inside and out. Built to resemble a bird in flight, the exterior of the building belies the enormous subterranean space, as underground at The Oculus is a massive transportation center and a shopping mall housing over 60 stores inside a sun-drenched 160-foot-tall hall.

Federal Hall

  • 15m
Fronted by the iconic statue of George Washington, Federal Hall is the site of some of the most important moments in American history. It was where the Confederation Congress met after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The First Congress met there and ratified the Bill of Rights. Washington was inaugurated on the steps of the building, and the first United State Supreme Court was housed here as well. We'll tour in inside of the hall and you'll have a photo-op with President Washington.

Wall Street

  • 15m
"Wall Street" - the term is synonymous with the entire financial world. What many people don't realize is how steeped in American history this relatively small - just eight blocks - street is. We'll see it all.

This beautiful church, and its two predecessors, have witnessed - and participated in - American history since pre-colonial times. We'll see the inside of the church as well as the churchyard where famous Americans, including Alexander Hamilton, are interred.

Canyon of Heroes

  • 15m
This is the section of Broadway stretching from The Battery to City Hall, where New Yorkers celebrate their heroes with tickertape parades. Every parade every held has a market inlaid into the sidewalk beginning with the Dedication of the Statue of Liberty.

Charging Bull (Wall Street Bull)
