Oplev Lower Manhattan Walking Tour
Beskrivelse
Oplev, hvor New York City begyndte på en gåtur gennem det historiske hjerte af Lower Manhattan. Denne 90 minutters oplevelse udforsker det finansielle distrikt, hvor århundreder af handel og regering formede byen. Start i City Hall Park, omgivet af nogle af New Yorks tidligste institutioner. Derfra sporer din guide Lower Manhattans udvikling fra en hollandsk handelspost til verdens finansielle hovedstad. Vi fortsætter gennem Financial District, gå langs Wall Street og lære, hvordan tidlige markeder fungerede, før skyskrabere definerede skylinen. Undervejs udforsker vi Stone Street Historic District, en af New Yorks ældste gader. Vi diskuterer landemærker som Federal Hall og Trinity Church, herunder Alexander Hamilton's sidste hvilested, og deres rolle i byens tidlige historie. I nærheden af World Trade Center-området forklarer din guide, hvordan denne del af Lower Manhattan blev genopbygget efter den 11. september.

Bygningen blev bygget fra 1803 til 1812 og er det ældste rådhus i USA, der stadig huser dets oprindelige statslige funktioner, såsom kontoret for borgmesteren i New York City og kamrene i New York City Council.
Woolworth Building er en tidlig amerikansk skyskraber designet af arkitekten Cass Gilbert.. Det var den højeste bygning i verden fra 1913 til 1930, med en højde på 792 fod.
Da det første gang åbnede i 1766 som et opsøgende kapel i Trinity Church for bedre at tjene dens ekspanderende menighed, var St. Paul's et "chapel-of-ease" for dem, der ikke ønskede at gå et par gader sydpå ad uasfalterede gader til Trinity. Et årti senere ødelagde den store brand i 1776 den første Treenighedskirke, men St. Paul's overlevede, takket være en spandbrigade, der overhældte bygningen med vand. Indtil den anden Trinity Church blev genopbygget i 1790, gjorde mange, inklusive George Washington, St. Paul's til deres kirkehjem. Den 30. april 1789, efter at Washington aflagde embedsed om at blive USA's første præsident, tog han vej fra Federal Hall på Wall Street til St. Paul's Chapel, hvor han deltog i gudstjenester. -trinitywallstreet.org
Stretch of Broadway i Lower Manhattan med over 200 sorte granitplader, der mindes og viser hver eneste ticker tape-parade i New Yorks historie.
Trinity Church er en historisk sognekirke i det episkopale bispedømme i New York, ved krydset mellem Wall Street og Broadway i finansdistriktet Lower Manhattan i New York City.
Wall Street er en otte blokke lang gade i finansdistriktet på Lower Manhattan i New York City. Den løber mellem Broadway i vest til South Street og East River i øst. Udtrykket "Wall Street" er blevet et metonym for de finansielle markeder i USA som helhed, den amerikanske finansindustri, New York-baserede finansielle interesser eller selve Financial District.
Stone Street er en af New Yorks ældste gader, der omfatter to veje fra det 17. århundrede i den hollandske koloni New Amsterdam. I 1658 blev det den første brostensbelagte gade i New Amsterdam. Efter den britiske erobring af kolonien blev gaden kaldt Duke Street, før den i 1794 blev omdøbt til Stone Street for sin brostensbelægning.
Fraunces Tavern er et museum og en restaurant i New York City, beliggende på 54 Pearl Street på hjørnet af Broad Street i Financial District of Lower Manhattan. Placeringen spillede en fremtrædende rolle i historien før, under og efter den amerikanske revolution. På forskellige tidspunkter i sin historie fungerede Fraunces Tavern som hovedkvarter for George Washington, et mødested for fredsforhandlinger med briterne og huse føderale kontorer i den tidlige republik
Bowling Green er en lille offentlig park i Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City, i den sydlige ende af Broadway. Beliggende ved siden af stedet for det oprindelige hollandske fort New Amsterdam, tjente det som et offentligt sted, før det blev udpeget som en park i 1733. Det er den ældste offentlige park i New York City og er omgivet af det oprindelige hegn fra det 18. århundrede. Det omfattede en egentlig bowlingbane og en rytterstatue af kong George III før den amerikanske uafhængighedskrig.

We took the « Discover the Birthplace of NYC » walking tour with Dave and it was spectacular. He was very knowledgeable and toured us around the most historical areas of New Amsterdam/New York City. He had old photos of some of the areas we visited to provide perspective of the times. A great tour for people interested in history and and opportunity to see some of the few remaining sites of the original settlement.
What a wonderful tour! Annabel was very knowledgeable and gave a fantastic tour which included many unique views and awesome historic facts. We enjoyed ourselves very much and would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about New York City.
We had an amazing time on this tour. Annabel was so pleasant and told us so many stories. She asked us our interests and tailored the tour to fit what we wanted to see. I would highly recommend this tour. Annabel has lived in Manhattan most of her life and she knows so much about the history of the area. You could tell she loves Manhattan and is enthusiastic about sharing all of the wonderful things about the history of this incredible place.
So fascinating, very engaging history at every turn. So so so worth it! Answered all of our questions and supplemented our interests with further information and stories. Could not recommend more!
We had a wonderful walking tour of the financial district and lower Manhattan. Our tour guide, Annabel, grew up, lives, and works on the neighborhoods we toured. She was very knowledgeable about the Native American and pre-revolutionary history of Manhattan, and she told the story of the development of NYC over time with details about governance, commerce, and architecture. We very much enjoyed our tour and will do other walking tours in the future.
We did the Historic Downtown tour with Nicky and couldn't recommend it more. It was exactly what we expected: a journey across historical facts that, ultimately and somewhat unexpectedly, gave birth to the feat of human endeavor that New York is. However, the tour had itself room for the unexpected. As Nicky was intertwining it with some of his own life experiences in those settings, and with his own interpretation of New York, we started to realize that the city is beyond an amalgam of skyscrapers and hectic roads. Beyond as well the distant and glamorous place portrayed in the good old movies. Beyond, even more so, the neuralgic center of the free world. New York is, above all that, the home of the childhood memories for its people, like Nicky. We couldn't thank him more for sharing that piece of himself with us.
Jake was an amazing tour guide. Super knowledgable, flexible to our requests, and very entertaining! Highly recommend a tour with Manhattan Walking Tour, which was very easy to work with and catered to exactly what we were looking for!
Awesome private tour with Claire on August 18. Explored Greenwich village and then lower Manhattan. Claire had great energy and very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. Had great pizza at Bleeker street pizza and cannolis at Rocco’s. Highly recommend
Our tour guide was knowledgeable and personable. It was a good walking tour of lower Manhattan, lasting about an hour and a half. I'm a native New Yorker, but I still learned some things. Well done.
We had a great tour with Jonathan, knows a lot about Wall Street, history and was very enthusiastic.
