Wall Street & Ground Zero Walking Tour

This downtown tour takes you through the heart of New York's business and financial center with stories you won't hear anywhere else.

We'll start in New York's early days, when one in four buildings was a tavern. And then we'll move to more modern times, when Wall Street traders bought long phone cords to swing at their hapless underlings.

You'll learn about an aspiring chef who nearly destroyed the world's economy.

We'll pay homage to a furry rodent that made the city rich.

And we'll visit the restaurant that created the modern menu in the United States.

Pride, greed, and gluttony -- all the big sins play their part in this tour, but there are noble deeds as well.

New York City did its best on the worst of days, September 11, 2001, when hundreds of police, firefighters, and ordinary people risked their lives to save others.

This walking tour takes you to Ground Zero and tells all its tales.

The tour begins at 11 a.m. every day but Tuesday and during scheduled breaks (Sept. 14-22, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day) at Broadway and Morris streets across from the Charging Bull sculpture. No reservations needed. show up rain or shine. No one is turned away. Tours cost just $20 per walker.
