Step into history during our Brooklyn Bridge and Sidewalks of New
York Walking Tour of lower Manhattan on May 3, 2026. Begin your day
with a scenic walk across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, setting the
stage for an unforgettable journey through the early roots of New York
City. Led by a professional expert historian, you'll explore the
places and stories that shaped both the city and the nation.
Highlights include a visit to Trinity Church (est. 1697 which is the
final resting place of Alexander Hamilton), St. Paul's Chapel, the
African Burial Ground National Monument, the 9/11 Memorial, and
historic Wall Street. Along the way, you'll uncover powerful stories
of America's beginnings, its challenges, and its rise to global
influence. The tour will pause midday at the Fulton Center where lunch
may be purchased. The fee includes coach bus transportation, guided
walking tour, entrance to all venues, an exclusive GSNNJ fun patch,
