Hoogtepunten

The East Village has reinvented itself so many times that residents have been complaining it’s gone downhill since the 1600s. On this walking tour along St Mark’s Place, you’ll follow radicals, artists, and outcasts who, for three centuries, made this three-block stretch one of the most rebellious streets in America. The tour starts at St Mark’s Church-in-the-Bowery, built on the former farm of Peter Stuyvesant, the peg-legged Dutch governor whose ghost still haunts the sanctuary. You’ll head into the heart of St Mark’s Place where wave after wave of immigrants, bohemians, and provocateurs left their mark – from the German shooting societies and Yiddish theater of the 1800s, to the jazz clubs, punk boutiques, and anarchist schools of the 1900s.

About New York City

New York City bundelt wolkenkrabbers, beroemde musea, Broadway en tientallen eigen buurten in vijf stadsdelen die dag en nacht zoemen.

Manhattan is de klassieke eerste stop. Times Square gloeit boven het theaterdistrict, Central Park strekt zich over tientallen blokken uit tussen de Upper East en Upper West Side, en het Empire State Building, het Chrysler Building en Rockefeller Center bepalen de skyline van Midtown. In Lower Manhattan liggen het 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street en de Brooklyn Bridge dicht bij elkaar, en vanaf de kade varen boten langs het Vrijheidsbeeld naar Ellis Island.

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