Explore the economic history of New York City on this engaging walking tour that covers the oldest parts of Lower Manhattan. Learn how a small Dutch settlement grew into the world’s financial capital over four centuries. The tour highlights the city’s rise as a center of finance, its local politics, and how these factors shaped the neighborhood’s architecture and streetscape. Walk past historic sites such as Bowling Green, the city’s oldest park, and see Wall Street landmarks including the New York Stock Exchange and Trinity Church. Visit Federal Hall, where George Washington was sworn in, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, home to the world’s largest stock of gold.
The tour also explores J.P. Morgan’s headquarters and the remnants of its 1920 bombing, the Equitable Building which influenced the city’s first zoning code, and St. Paul’s Chapel, Manhattan’s oldest building. Learn about modern history at the pocket park where Occupy Wall Street gathered, One World Trade Center, and the Oculus train station. Conclude at New York City Hall, the oldest city hall still in use in the United States.

Jackie
We had an amazing time on the Gangster & Ghost Tour around Little Italy and Chinatown! Jared was incredibly informative, friendly, and engaging — he really brought the stories to life. One of the highlights was seeing parts of the city we never would have explored on our own. It was fun, fascinating, and full of great history and spooky moments. We really, really, really enjoyed it and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC!”
Rohan
Jared took me on the mafia tour and was fantastic. Not only did he have in depth knowledge of the NYC mafia and ghosts, but he delivered it in an entertaining manner. He was very knowledgeable about NYC in general and related historical moments to other countries!

We were 2 People from Germany, and this was our very first food tour – and what an experience! The NYC food tour was absolutely fantastic. It was not only super informative but also incredibly entertaining. Our tour guide, Blake, was amazing – full of energy, fun, and knowledge. The food we got to try was simply sensational. A perfect mix of culture, history, and delicious bites. Highly recommended to anyone visiting NYC!

What an amazing experience! Diego was the perfect guide for this fun tour of Chinatown and Little Italy. He grew up in the area, was full of stories, and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to explore NYC a little more from a native New Yorker's perspective.
