1-2 hours
The Bowery Historic District Walking Tour
Journey over four centuries on a walking tour of New York's most historic street.
What you'll do
Originally a Native American footpath and Dutch farm road, the Bowery encapsulates Manhattan's rich history. The main road has played a central role in the development of the city, all of which your expert guide will tell you about on your tour of the area.
This tour is perfect for history-loving vacationers. You'll march down the same triumphal route that Washington made during the British evacuation and listen to juicy tales of gang wars and riots. You'll stroll down to the Cooper Union, where Lincoln made the anti-slavery speech that propelled him to presidency, and see how the Bowery became the main street for sailors, gangs, sportsmen and waves of immigrants from all over the world.
