Highlights

Join us on a journey through over four centuries as we walk down NYC’s oldest street! Originally a Native American footpath and Dutch farm road, site of the first free Black homesteads, it witnessed gang wars, the bloody Astor Place Riot, & Lincoln’s famous anti-slavery speech at Cooper Union. It was the working-class main street for sailors, shopgirls, gangs, gays, and waves of immigrant Irish, Italians, Germans, Jews, and Chinese. NYC’s first entertainment district, it has seminal links to tap dance, vaudeville, Yiddish theater, Houdini, Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Mae West, modern tattooing, Abstract Expressionism, Beat literature, improvisational jazz and punk rock. Though it declined in the 1900s, when flop houses and dive bars proliferated, it nonetheless became home to affordable jewelry, lighting, and restaurant supply stores, and a live-work home for artists like Marc Rothko, Maya Lin, William Burroughs, Robert Frank, and Debbie Harry.

About New York City

New York City bündelt Wolkenkratzer, berühmte Museen, Broadway-Theater und Dutzende eigenständige Viertel in fünf Stadtbezirken, die Tag und Nacht brummen.

Manhattan ist die klassische erste Station. Der Times Square leuchtet über dem Theaterviertel, der Central Park erstreckt sich über viele Blocks zwischen Upper East Side und Upper West Side, und Empire State Building, Chrysler Building und Rockefeller Center prägen die Skyline von Midtown. Im Süden liegen das 9/11 Memorial, die Wall Street und die Brooklyn Bridge nahe beieinander, und Boote fahren an der Freiheitsstatue vorbei nach Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
