New York is a city of superlatives. It has the largest population,
greatest wealth, broadest diversity and most elegant museums in the
nation. With that comes an amazing history.
This tour of the Big Apple goes beyond the traditional guidebook to
offer visitors and residents alike a chance to walk back in time along
the streets of Manhattan. George Washington took his first oath of
office on the steps of Federal Hall. Visitors can still dine at the
famed Fraunces Tavern and worship at historic St. Paul's Chapel. From
the Brooklyn Bridge to stunning skyscrapers, the city celebrates its own
history and that of the nation. Join author Alison Fortier as she traces
the history and heritage of America's largest metropolis.
