Overview

A fantastic tour at a normal pace with a little bit of everything for visitors to New York City. We will walk lower Manhattan, visiting locations of historical significance (like NYC City Hall and the 9/11 Memorial), others that are interesting in popular culture (like the Ghostbusters HQ and the courthouse steps from multiple law and police dramas in TV and film). We will be making one stop for real New York Pizza (payment for your food and drink is entirely up to you). A full list of stops is included in "Tour Details". The tour will end at the World Trade Center site, where I will share my experience as a local on the morning of September 11th 2001.

What to expect

  1. GhostBusters Firehouse Company 8

    10m
    A quick stop at the courthouse made famous in so many NYC-based police and legal dramas.
  3. City Hall Area

    City Hall, the Woolworth building, Park Row, and amazing views of the Brooklyn Bridge and a brief history of my favorite way to cross the east river.

    Pass by
    NYC's oldest standing church and witness to some of the city's most important events.

    Pass by
    Housing more than $400 billion (with a "B") in gold... not available for withdrawal.

    Incredibly important historically, both as the climax of the "National Treasure" movie and as the final resting place of Alexander Hamilton.
  7. Wall Street
    15m
    See the NY Stock Exchange, Federal Hall, the House of Morgan, and the Fearless Girl statue. Hot stock tips not included.
  8. Canyon of Heroes
    15m
    Where the ticker tape parade was invented and home to the "Charging Bull" statue.

    15m
    The oldest park in NYC with it's original 1773 fence.
  10. Battery Park

    We will spend some time walking through the park, take in the single best view of the Statue of Liberty and visit Castle Clinton.
  11. The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum
    30m
    We will spend a good bit of time here to discuss my experiences as a local on September 11, 2001. We will not be going into the museum itself, although you are more than welcome to return on your own.
