Things To Do
Stone Street Historic District
Coenties Alley btw S William Street and Pearl Street "The little cobblestone street that some say was the first ever paved in New York City stretches no longer than a football field but has more restaurants and bars than some neighborhoods." - NY Daily News
Battery Park & Sea Glass Carousel
Take a walk through Battery Park to see a great view of the NY Harbor, and while you're there check out the Sea Glass Carousel! The carousel is designed to resemble an under-the-sea garden through which visitors ride on fish that appear to be made of sea glass and shimmer as though they were bioluminescent. Not just for children! Recommended to go at night, but still cool during the day. Tickets are $5.
The Elevated Acre
Tucked between two office buildings at 55 Water Street is an unassuming escalator which whisks you up to The Elevated Acre. This secretive urban oasis features a lawn, an amphitheater, winding paths of Brazilian hardwood, spectacular views of the East River, Brooklyn, and the Brooklyn Bridge, and above all, pleasant solitude. This elevated one-acre park is one of Manhattan’s most relaxing secrets.
Seaport District NYC
"The Seaport District is New York’s original commercial hub, located on the East River in Lower Manhattan with stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the NYC skyline. The historic cobblestones of the Seaport have since been transformed into 450,000 square feet of dynamic culinary, fashion, entertainment and cultural experiences that both locals and visitors can enjoy." - NYC The Official Guide
