Morning
Most subway routes lead to City Hall. When you come up to street level, walk down Broadway to see the lobbies of the Woolworth (see Woolworth Building) and the former AT & T Building and the Georgian interior of St. Paul’s Chapel.
Return via Park Row, once known as Newspaper Row because it was lined with their offices. Printing House Square has a statue of Benjamin Franklin with his Pennsylvania Gazette. West of the Row lies City Hall Park, where the Declaration of Independence was read to George Washington’s troops in July 1776. The park was recently restored and has a new granite time wheel telling the city’s history.
A walk along Center and Chambers streets takes you past the ornate Municipal Building.
Afternoon
At midday, head east for a seafood lunch at the Bridge Café , housed in a 1794 wood-framed building. From here the East River is a short stroll away, offering excellent views of lower Manhattan.
Spend the afternoon at South Street Seaport , visiting the museum and maritime crafts center, perhaps taking a cruise on one of the ships. Have dinner on Pier 17, enjoying Caribbean fare at the lively Cabana (see Cabana at the Seaport), or New American fare at Harbour Lights .
