NEXT SCHEDULED WALKING TOURS

THERE ARE NO TERRY'S NEW YORK TOURS SCHEDULED FOR THE WEEKEND OF MAY 11-12

GREENWICH VILLAGE: Saturday, May 18, at 1 p.m.

Raffish Greenwich Villagers fought the rigidity of the 1811 street grid, stymied Robert Moses in his plans to route traffic through Washington Square Park and have been locked in a decades-long battle with NYU over its plans for further expansion in their neighborhood.  We’ll explore the impact of the southern extension of the IRT below Eleventh Street, the reasons why Fourth Street crosses 10th, 11th and 12th streets and why the rich flocked to Lower Fifth Avenue after Washington Square Park opened in 1827. We’ll then stroll west to visit some of New York’s most magnificent residential streets before ending at St. Luke-in-the-Fields and the Archives Building. 
MEET: Under Washington Square Arch at the base of Fifth Avenue.

DOWNTOWN TOUR: Saturday, May 25, at 1 p.m.

Celebrate Memorial Day Weekend where a tiny Dutch trading post broke Russia’s virtual monopoly on trading beaver pelts with 17th century Europe in a critical first step toward evolving into the world’s financial capital.  Peek into the site where the first Jewish house of worship was created despite Peter Stuyvesant’s resistance; where residents quickly learned that land is money in New York when they were rewarded for developing Lower Manhattan landfill; and where America’s first printing press surfaced on Pearl Street in 1693 in a first major step toward expanding into the media capital of the world.  Then we’ll stroll along Wall Street to explore how the Civil War propelled New York from a port-based trans-Atlantic trading city into the banking and financial capital of America and ultimately the world. We’ll end at Trinity Church at Broadway and Wall Street.  
MEET: Custom House (Museum of the American Indian) at Broadway and Battery Place.

BATTERY PARK CITY TOUR: Saturday, June 1 at 1 p.m.

The ability to stack modular truck containers on ships a half century ago revolutionized maritime shipping and forced New York to shift its piers from the Lower West Side to New Jersey.  The opening of the once highly congested riverfront would eventually lead to the creation of New York's first waterfront parks since the Brooklyn Heights Promenade unfolded in the fifties.  The shifting of the piers also made it possible to create Battery Park City on 92 acres of landfill as Manhattan expanded across its 1810 boundary at West Street.  We'll celebrate the river while strolling along the Esplanade and peek into Teardrop Park, the Irish Hunger Memorial, South Cove and other parks that line the waterfront before ending at the Battery. 
MEET: Chambers Street at Greenwich Street (southwest corner).
