Destination: New York City, New York
New York City – an iconic cultural melting pot and vibrant metropolis that has captivated the world for centuries. On today’s “Broadway to the Battery” tour, we’ll explore the southern tip of Manhattan, making our engaging walking journey from the urban canyon of Broadway down to the scenic Battery Park. Be prepared to experience famous landmarks while learning captivating stories along the way.
Our tour begins in Foley Square, lying over a near-forgotten 17th century African burial ground. From there, we’ll head down the iconic Broadway corridor, diving into its rich history’s transformation from a Native American trail to the bright lights of today’s Theater District. You can’t miss the striking new Oculus transportation hub along the way – a symbolic phoenix risen from the ashes of the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center site. Our path takes us to the Wall Street area, the economic heartbeat of NYC dating back to the dawn of American stock trading outside Federal Hall and the imposing New York Stock Exchange. We’ll make our final stop at Bowling Green, the city’s oldest public park featuring the beloved Charging Bull statue and Customs House with its unique history. By the end, you’ll have experienced some of Lower Manhattan’s most iconic sights and discovered rich stories along the “Broadway to the Battery” journey.
At the end of the tour, we invite you to stay on for an exclusive 15-minute demo with a Senior Planet Technology Trainer. You’ll have an opportunity to discover a unique aspect we’ve uncovered during the tour – something special that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the New York experience. You won’t want to miss this fascinating and interactive demonstration.
