Lower Manhattan IS American History! This is where the original Dutch colony of New Amsterdam was. The first Capital of the United States of America was here, Washington took office as our first President here, mere blocks from where the last British troops left America just six years earlier.
The Financial Heart of not only the country, but of the world is in Lower Manhattan as well as the world's largest gold supply. The world watched in horror as the twin towers were attacked and fell on September 11, 2001.
I am a native New Yorker; I was a stock trader who worked here for 20 years. I was in Manhattan on Sept. 11. I have long loved sharing the history of this amazing island and with me, you won't get a tour guide going through the paces, you'll get a true native sharing oral histories of one of the most amazing places on earth.

What To Expect
St. Paul's Chapel
Our tour starts at St. Paul's which was the church Washington worshipped at when he was a resident of New York. The church survived the attacks at The World Trade Center became an R&R center for first responders working at the site after the attacks.
The Oculus
An amazing structure built as part of the recovery after the attacks; The Oculus is beautiful inside and out. Built to resemble a bird in flight, the exterior of the building belies the enormous subterranean space, as underground at The Oculus is a massive transportation center and a shopping mall housing over 60 stores inside a sun-drenched 160-foot-tall hall.
