New York City Shopping
Make a walk a Boutique Tour in lower midtown by starting
in Washington Square in the heart of Greenwich Village.
In the 60s, flattop acoustic tunes about Bleeker Street
rallied Bohemian artists and poets, street singers and
protesters to the arch and fountain. High rents have
chased the poets to SoHo and East Village but their
children occasionally prowl the park in hippie tie-dye.
From the Square walk north along New York City's heart
of sophisticated glitter, Fifth Avenue. The breezes in the
Ginkgo Trees whisper permission to absorb the Fifth
Avenue luxury and shop, "You owe it to yourself". Fifteen
blocks of glamorous boutiques will quell that simmering
passion for acquisition. Bric-a-brac, or bauble, Armani or
Matsuda, tidbit or treasure, you beast of greed will sup
and slake while Ginkgo breezes sigh, "If not now, then
when".
Teddy Roosevelt was a fellow walker. He, the original
Teddy Bear, charged up San Juan Hill leading his troops
and later led visiting dignitaries on walking tours of DC.
In every walker's heart as a preserver of the natural
places, our 26th President, winner of a Nobel Peace
Prize, was born on East 20th Street and our walk passes
the museum that was his house.

Intrepid Museum
Near Gramercy Park we find the
Gramercy Tavern on East 20th
pleasing diners who enjoy NY bistro
chatter with impeccable service and
honest cuisine. Tables in the back
offer quiet privacy; any seat brings
great food. If you have escaped fifth
Avenue with cash or a credit card not in
the red zone, you can choose from ten
restaurants south of this area or walk
south to Lady Mendl's 19th century
Victorian townhouse on Irving Place for
an antique settee in the Lady's genteel
parlor and a five-course afternoon high
tea.
South on Irving to the art district of
SoHo where galleries and trendy
clothing stores give this once rundown
area a new luster.
A walk south to 4th and then Houston
or a short cab ride will take you to Little
Italy and Mulberry Street's 30
restaurants for European dining
beneath sidewalk umbrellas. Da Nico's,
a favorite of former Mayor Guiliani,
offers coal-fired brick oven Pizza, 80
choice wines, and outdoor garden
dining that will take you to Tuscany.
Puglia Ristorante on Hester, between
Mulberry and Mott will put you in
Southern Italy while Sambuca's Café on
Mulberry will serve up a Cappuccino
and Tiramisu dessert transporting you
to Rome.

Four Walking Tours
New York City Museums
Chinese more your style, walk 7 blocks on Mulberry to Canal Street through the
largest Chinatown in the US and have Szechwan, Hunan, Shanghai, Cantonese, or
Mandarin cuisine.
A cab to B.B. King's Blues Club or Centro-Fly's edgy music club could end your
evening with a dance on the wild side.
The fourth tour, The River Walk starts on Wall Street at The Federal Hall National
Monument where George Washington took the oath of office as our first President.
Most visitors spend a quiet moment at the huge black fenced area contemplating the
hole in the heart of the city where once stood the spires of the World Trade Center.
The Deli beside the site will always be a memorable stop because it stayed open
during the rescue and cleanup, keeping the coffee flowing for the firefighters who
searched for their brethren after the tragedy.
Cross-town to the east, the old Fulton Fish Market, reborn as a shopping district,
borders the river walk beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. To walk the longest suspension
bridge in the world at its opening in 1883 and the first to light its roadway with
electricity, start 9 blocks west of the Riverwalk at the 1811 French
Renaissance/Georgian style City Hall.
South on the Riverwalk, the antique, square-rigged tall ships, tug boat, and cargo
vessels of the Seaport Museum make this an historic and exciting area. Walk south
to the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the New York City Police Museum, The National
Museum of the American Indian, or the Fraunces Tavern museum, and to the Battery
Park and the boat for the Ellis Island Immigration Museum.
Between 1892 and 1938 twelve million immigrants passed through the museums
portal to freedom in America. You will need two to three hours to explore the
processing center where you can examine the ship's records for names of your
immigrant ancestors. From Battery Park, tours run to the Hudson River for views of
the Statue of Liberty.
