Battery Park City Tour: The North Neighborhood

The North Neighborhood tour of the Museum’s three thematic walking tours of Battery Park City will cover the north residential neighborhood, which was developed in several phases, beginning with Stuyvesant High School at the northeast edge and the esplanade and Rockefeller Park along the Hudson. A diagonal avenue lined with apartment buildings creates one face of the neighborhood, while the inner courts of the large blocks are connected by the delightful Teardrop Park. Located two blocks from ground zero, we will also explore the history and design of the Irish Hunger Memorial completed in 2001.

This tour will meet under the palm trees at the Winter Garden at Brookfield Place. Registration for each tour is limited to 25 people. Any updates for bad-weather cancellations will be sent to your email address.
