Lower Manhattan is a bridge to our nation’s history and a gateway to New York City’s future. Stories going back hundreds of years echo across a dynamic and rapidly changing landscape. There’s too much to do here to see it all in one day. Allow an extra day if you want to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, too.

GOVERNORS ISLAND

Start at City Hall Park66 and make your way past the lavish Woolworth Building51, one of the city’s most important architectural landmarks. Directly across from the Woolworth Building, and a century apart, stands New York by Gehry49, a stunning example of modern architecture and a testament to the change taking place in Lower Manhattan. Continue to St. Paul’s Chapel22, which dates back to 1766 and is the only surviving pre-Revolutionary church in Manhattan. More recently, on September 11th, 2001, St. Paul’s served as a refuge for many of those affected by the tragedy. Leaving the Chapel, head south on Broadway along the Canyon of Heroes. Numerous plaques commemorate ticker-tape parades celebrating noteworthy figures and major events. Turn right at Cortlandt and arrive at Century 218. Whether you’re a shopper or not, it’s almost impossible to visit Lower Manhattan without a stop at the legendary department store, which sells steeply discounted designer fashions. Close by, the luxury shops at Brookfield Place6 (and those coming soon to Westfield World Trade Center33) round out an all-encompassing shopping experience. Return to Broadway and continue right on Liberty St. to the World Trade Center site. The complex includes the 9/11 Memorial & Museum1. Time and date specific reservations are required to visit the Museum, though walk-up tickets are available daily. While visiting the plaza, make sure to look up. At the northwest corner, stands One World Trade Center50, America’s tallest building and the symbol of a revitalized district. Recently opened on the building’s top floors, One World Observatory20 offers unmatched views of New York City and an exciting digital experience. Like the Museum, advanced tickets are required. Close by, witness Santiago Calatrava’s iconic World Trade Center Transportation Hub52, set to open in 2016. Featuring a striking winged oculus design, the building is a must-see for any architecture buff. Returning to Broadway, pass Isamu Noguchi’s iconic red cube sculpture and Mark Di Suvero’s abstract Joie De Vivre on either side of Zuccotti Park86. Continue south to the corner of Wall Street where you will find Trinity Church31, the tallest building in Manhattan at the time of its completion in 1846. The tranquil churchyard is home to the gravesites of famous New Yorkers Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton. Heading east, Wall Street32 is at once the capital of capital, a frequent movie set and the location of some of New York’s most notable attractions. At the corner of Wall and Broad stand two must-see sites: the New York Stock Exchange18 and Federal Hall National Memorial11. You can’t miss Federal Hall — a huge statue of George Washington prominently guards the front. Inside is a small, informational museum dedicated to the nation-shaping events of postcolonial New York, including the first U.S. Congress and Washington’s inauguration as America’s first president in 1789. Starting at around 4 P.M., the restaurants and bars that line Stone Street28 buzz with local workers celebrating the end of the work day. Located just a few blocks away from the modern high-rise buildings of Wall Street, Stone Street remains a cobblestone testament to New York’s Dutch past. Whether for just drinks or some food too, grab a seat and settle in for a true New York night.

Lower Manhattan in Two Days:

Lower Manhattan On the Water:

There’s so much to do in Lower Manhattan, two days here will only begin to scratch the surface.

Manhattan’s waterfront has shaped the history of the city and the United States. The harbor in Lower Manhattan is also home to some of the city’s most renowned and recognizable attractions. A visit to New York would simply be incomplete without time on the water.

At the northern edge of Lower Manhattan is the African Burial Ground National Monument2, where both free and enslaved Africans were buried from the 1690s until 1794; the sacred site was discovered during the construction of a federal office building in 1991 and highlights an important and once forgotten part of New York City history. From there, you can make your way to the Brooklyn Bridge5. The bridge is a marvel of 19th century engineering, offering captivating views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and a quintessential New York City experience. From the Manhattan side access ramp, take your time strolling from Park Row to Broadway and across Fulton, ultimately reaching The Seaport District25. The Seaport District is undergoing a radical and exciting transformation. While Pier 17 is under construction, visitors can enjoy unique shopping and food experiences at the many shops and restaurants along picturesque Front and Beekman Streets. If you’re looking to take in some theater while in town, the TKTS Discount Booth 29 at the corner of Water and John has the same discounted deals — but with fewer crowds — than its Times Square counterpart. Continue south along Water St., make a right on Broad St., and arrive at historic Fraunces Tavern Museum54. The tavern has been around since America’s earliest days. Built as a house in 1719 and turned into a tavern in 1762, it has been the site of nation-changing events and is also one of New York’s oldest surviving buildings, as well as a museum and restaurant. Next, head over to Bowling Green 4 and take a picture in front of the famous Charging Bull 4. Sculpted by artist Arturo Di’Modica, the bull mysteriously appeared one night in front of the New York Stock Exchange. Having been moved to its current location at the north point of Bowling Green, it has become the symbol of Wall Street’s optimism and a must-see NYC attraction. Make your way to the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian59 located inside the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House. Aside from being one of the city’s premier beaux arts buildings, the museum houses an impressive array of exhibitions documenting the sweep of Native American history. Elaborate crafts, textiles and ceremonial pieces are just a few of the fascinating objects in the museum’s permanent collection. While there, join a tour of the Collector’s Office, the ornate oaked-paneled room designed by Tiffany Studios and made famous in HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and Spike Lee’s Inside Man.

Begin your day here early to allow enough time to take in all the sights, starting with the Statue of Liberty 10. Lady Liberty is recognized worldwide as the symbol of American freedom. The massive monument — designed by sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi and Gustave Eiffel of Eiffel Tower fame — was a gift from the French, commemorating the 100-year anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. To reach the site, visitors must book through Statue Cruises27. Once there, they are able to explore the recently renovated grounds surrounding the statue as well as climb the 354 steps to an observation deck within Lady Liberty’s crown. If you plan on taking in the view from the top, make your reservations beforehand. A Flex Ticket is available for those who require a bit more flexibility. After you’ve had your share of the majestic green lady, the same ferry that brought you to the Statue of Liberty will take you onwards to historic Ellis Island 10. To be allowed to visit both attractions, be sure to board the ferry before 1 P.M. Upon arrival, relive the immigrant experience at the impressive immigration museum. Between 1892 to 1924, Ellis Island and the grounds of the museum greeted close to 12 million immigrants as they arrived in the New World. If you still haven’t had your fill of water-related activities, New York Water Taxi19 and Hornblower Cruises14 offer a great variety of boat tours. For those looking for an alternative boating option, Manhattan by Sail16 offers small sailing cruises around the harbor. These views from the water can’t be beat. With tours operating all day and into the night, enjoy an entertaining and stimulating close-up of New York City’s magnificent harbor. Continue your waterfront experience with an evening stroll along the East River Esplanade70. Along the restored path and piers are vibrant activities, shops, restaurants and a bustling nightlife to keep you entertained. You can also stay connected and take advantage of the free public Wi-Fi provided by the Alliance for Downtown New York.

#DOWNISWHATSUP For additional themed itineraries and a complete list of hotels, attractions, restaurants and shops in Lower Manhattan, visit www.DowntownNY.com or scan the code to the left.

Directly across from the museum is Whitehall Terminal 85, home to the Staten Island Ferry 26. The trip takes about 25 minutes each way and offers good views of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Upon your return, head west and spend some time at the Skyscraper Museum58 or the Museum of Jewish Heritage—a Living Memorial to the Holocaust56. Every long day in Manhattan deserves a scenic end. Newly renovated Pier A21 is the perfect place to grab a drink and something to eat while appreciating Manhattan’s popular harbor and Statue of Liberty views. Likewise, the many restaurants at Brookfield Place 6 — including those at the new French food hall Le District 6 — and along the Hudson River are great for waterfront dining.
