Highlights

1) Bowling Green

Start your tour with a photo op at the 7100-pound Charging Bull sculpture and steal a quiet moment in Bowling Green, New York's first public park.

2) Alexander Hamilton US Customs House

Traders once came to pay customs duties at the US Customs House, but today it houses the National Museum of the American Indian. Take a moment to admire the detailed sculptures of the continents flanking the grand staircase.

3) Fraunces Tavern

Turn toward Pearl Street and make a tryst with history at Fraunces Tavern. George Washington gave his farewell speech here before stepping down as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army.

Tip: Check out the archaeological remains of Lovelace's Tavern at the site of the Dutch city hall, Stadt Huys.

4) Stone Street

This was the first street to be paved with cobblestones during the Dutch era. It is now restored and lined with bars and restaurants.

5) ITT Building

Former headquarters of the International Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (ITT), the building is notable for a striking mosaic dome depicting Commerce uniting the hemispheres through electricity.

6) American Bank Note Company Building

A historic Beaux-Arts building that once served as the headquarters of the American Bank Note Company.

7) New York Stock Exchange Building

The New York Stock Exchange building was built in the Beaux-Arts style with Corinthian columns, and a 1904 pediment sculpture called “Integrity Protecting the Works of Man." In 1936, the original sculptures were replaced with painted, lead-covered copper copies.

A figure of “Fearless Girl,” moved here in 2018, faces the building from the street.

8) Federal Hall National Memorial

The site where George Washington took the oath of office as the first President of the United States. The hall once served as City Hall and has now been converted into a museum.

9) Trinity Church

This British-era church was once the tallest building in the area. The churchyard is the resting place of Alexander Hamilton, the first US Secretary of the Treasury, and Robert Fulton, a pioneer in commercial steam navigation.

Tip: The stretch of Broadway facing the church honors national heroes. Watch out for the granite strips embedded in the sidewalk.

10) Equitable Building

One of the last buildings to be built before the Zoning Resolution of 1916. The law required setbacks for new buildings so sunlight could reach street level.

11) Zuccotti Park

A privately owned public park that gained worldwide attention during the Occupy Wall Street protests. The site was once home to a building that housed one of Nikola Tesla’s labs.

12) New York Fed

The building, with its grilled windows and thick walls, is the New York branch of the Federal Reserve Bank. The structure guards an underground vault containing the world’s largest repository of monetary gold.
