Hoogtepunten

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 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.
