Lower Manhattan - Half Day Walking Tour in New York

The history of NYC started on Manhattan's southernmost coast, an area that today hosts the heart of American finance and so much more. The city developed north but the south of the island is where most immigrants originally migrated to, where the majority of factories were located in the 19th Century, and these small neighbourhoods still carry the signs of those times gone by. Though most of them today are gentrified and have moved towards an upscale reality, the buildings still tell an old story that's worth telling and fascinating to hear. Come south of Houston Street with me where I'll unveil the history & secrets of Lower Manhattan. We'll observe the beauty of old cast iron buildings & fancy boutiques in SoHo & Nolita, plus stroll through Tribeca to immerse ourselves in the dense architectural eclecticism of the Financial District, New York's place of birth. Take the chance to enjoy an espresso in Little Italy accompanied by a true Italian like myself and see how it has been absorbed by Chinatown.
