    Begin at Battery Park for a view of the waterfront, and look into Castle Clinton (see Castle Clinton National Monument), an 1807 fort, to see dioramas of a changing New York. Then visit the Museum of the American Indian at the U.S. Custom House. Cross to Bowling Green, the city’s first park, then turn right on Whitehall, and left on Pearl Street for the Fraunces Tavern Museum, a restoration of the 1719 building where George Washington bade farewell to his troops.

    Continue on Pearl Street and turn left to Broad Street to join Wall Street denizens at a favorite lunching spot, the impeccably French 14 Wall Street .

    Head up Broad Street to Wall Street to the New York Stock Exchange, where there is chaos on the trading floor. Close by is Federal Hallp73), where the country’s first president took his oath of office. Join Wall Street denizens at a favorite lunching spot, the impeccably French 14 Wall Street (see 14 Wall Street), between Broad Street and Broadway.

    Afternoon

    Continue uptown on Nassau Street (a continuation of Broad Street) to see Chase Plaza and its famous sculptures. At the end of the Plaza on Liberty Street is the ornate Federal Reserve Bank and then Louise Nevelson Square, featuring the artist’s Shadows and Flags .

    Go back on Liberty and turn downtown on Broadway to find Trinity Church and the Cunard Building. End the day with dinner at the Ritz-Carlton’s restaurant, 2 West @ Battery Park Place (see Battery Gardens).
