Bushwick Collective: Info / Map / Self Guided Tour

Artwork by Adam Fujita

We offer a graffiti tour - conducted every day at 10:30am

The top site of NYC graffiti and street art culture is now in Brooklyn. The neighborhood of Bushwick has become known for all kinds of up-and-coming artists. Now it is also being recognized for a large and ever-growing graffiti exhibition: the Bushwick Collective . This page provides important info for visiting; and an insider map of the mural locations. It also includes a self-guided tour. (Note: this page is unofficial and is not directly affiliated with the Bushwick Collective). This page is updated for 2021.

About The Bushwick Collective

The Bushwick Collective was founded in 2012 by Joseph Ficalora - a neighborhood personality and businessperson - to beautify industrial streets with vibrant graffiti art. Joe is inspired by his deceased father and mother, and the art is dedicated to them. The Bushwick Collective brings together street artists from around the world, legendary NYC graffiti artists, and local Bushwick talent. The art is all temporary - on average a mural will last approx. 12 months before being replaced. Artists are not paid - these are "permission" murals (as opposed to "commission"). The Bushwick Collective is a work in progress - new murals are painted year round (occasionally - approx. every 6-10 weeks). The main time of painting is at the annual Bushwick Collective Block Party . It’s usually held on a Saturday in the month of June and is free. This year 2021 the Block Party will occur on August 28.

Location & Directions

The Bushwick Collective is located in the New York City borough of Brooklyn . It is easily accessible by the city's subway - a ride of approx. 15-40 minutes. Take the L subway line to 'Jefferson Street' station. It is 7 stops out of Manhattan. The L line can be picked up at '14th Street - Union Square" station or any other station along 14th Street. From there travel time will be approx. 15-20 minutes. From Midtown or Downtown Manhattan travel time will be approx. 25-40 minutes (since you will need to take a different subway line to 14th Street and then transfer to the L line). When you arrive at Jefferson Street station you will have arrived at the Bushwick Collective - it’s directly outside the station. The Bushwick Collective does not have any indoor facility - the art is all displayed on the surrounding public streets.

Important: there is ongoing construction occurring on the L subway line. On Saturdays and Sundays the L line is running every 20 minutes only. Be sure to plan extra travel time (approximately 20 additional minutes) because there might be delays. Otherwise you can take an alternative route: M line to 'Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenue' station, then walk to Starr Street or take the L line to 'Jefferson Street'. Travel time is 30-60 minutes.

Best Time To Go

The Bushwick Collective can be visited at any time. It is on public streets so it's never closed. On weekends there are larger numbers of visitors and tours. On weekdays it is quieter and there are less visitors - so it's easier to get a feel for the area vibe. The Bushwick Collective is outdoors, so visiting during warmer weather will be more pleasant - although any time of year is fine. The most ideal time of year to visit is June. In June there is the annual Bushwick Collective Block Party - a weekend festival with music, food and live artists painting. Many new murals are painted then, and in the weeks and days leading up to the block party there is heightened artist activity in the area. Please note that Bushwick is not “new” or “recently discovered.” There is a large community that has been living here from before the art scene. Therefore please be courteous and respectful when visiting. Bushwick has become newly popular to visit but bear in mind that it is somebody’s home.

Types of Art

The Bushwick Collective is comprised mainly of large aerosol murals. Most of them are pictures, images, or portraits - art known as "post-graffiti." Then there are some murals comprised of traditional graffiti (also known as "graffiti writing/tagging") which are generally the artist's name written in advanced, contorted or colorful lettering. Additionally, around the area there is also lots of other art which is not part of the official exhibition and is not organized by the Bushwick Collective. There are local street artists who frequently deploy unsanctioned paper posters, stencils or stickers on walls and doorways in the neighborhood. These works of art generally do not last as long as the official aerosol murals. They are not overseen by any official curator so they are put up at random and do not follow any schedule. As you walk around, keep an eye out for hidden or camouflaged artworks. Look out for hidden faces, cats , yarn graffiti and drip art . And watch the ground! There are many artworks painted on the sidewalks.

Artwork by Dasic Fernandez

Here are some of the street artists who have painted at the Bushwick Collective:

Zimad & Sexer - Zimad and Sexer are two pals who have wielding aerosol cans since they were teens in the late 1970's. Over the years they have transitioned beyond graffiti into more traditional forms of painting and art, too.

Damien Mitchell - Hailing from Australia (the city of Wagga Wagga), Damien Mitchell has made a name for himself over the last few years in New York City and Brooklyn. He is known for his murals which usually feature people or portraits. Often the colors are layered rather than blended into each other.

Dasic Fernandez - Dasic Fernandez divides his time between New York City and his homeland of Chile. His aerosol murals often feature human figures made with bright colors. 

Case Ma'claim - Case Ma'claim is an accomplished street artist from Germany. He has painted around the world, with his distinctive style focused on closeups of human hands and finger.

Here are some other prolific artists at the Bushwick Collective: Lexi Bella , La Femme Cherie , Danielle Mastrion , Sipros , Freaky Kiss , Pixel Pancho , Beau Stanton , Fumero , Joe Iurato , Logan Hicks , Jorit Agoch , Don Rimx , Jodo , Tats Cru - Nicer   Bio   BG183 , Michel Velt , Nychos , Phetus88 , Adam Fu , BERT .

Other talented artists nearby (some of them are not affiliated with the Bushwick Collective): Hunt Rodriguez , Sara Erenthal , Stray Ones , Espartaco Abreu , Isabelle Ewing, Dirk, s0th1s , Brolga , ANJL NYC , Menace & Resa , Caty Wooley

Artwork by Jamie Hef and others

Block Party

The Bushwick Collective Block Party is the focal point of the year. It is held annually, usually on the first Saturday in the month of June. It’s free and open to the public. The Block Party attracts New Yorkers who are fans of street art or Hip Hop (or folks who just want to come participate in a fun event!) as well as locals from the neighborhood. Dozens of urban artists from around the world converge there too. Approx. 60% of the mural artworks are switched - the prior artwork is replaced by new ones. At the Block Party you can hang out and watch artists paint live. There will be a Hip Hop performance and a few art/music-related street vendors. You can grab food from several food trucks, and alcohol is available for purchase. This year 2021 the Block Party will occur on August 28.

About Bushwick (neighborhood)

Bushwick is a dense post-industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York City. It is currently becoming recognized for a blooming artist and creative scene. Also for new trendy restaurants and nightlife. The scene has blossomed over the last few years as nearby artsy Williamsburg has gotten more expensive. Aside from incoming artists and young professionals, Bushwick's primary population is Puerto Rican, Dominican-American and immigrants from Latin America. Bushwick is nearly 400 years old and was first founded by Dutch (on land taken over from Native Americans who lived there for centuries). In the 1800's the area filled with German immigrants and became a major place of manufacturing and beer brewing. There was also a large Italian and Sicilian immigrant community, before Bushwick's current Spanish-language residents began arriving in the 1970's. Unfortunately the area's gentrification has an ugly side - skyrocketing prices and people being dispossessed from their homes. You can help by donating to important nearby nonprofit agencies: St. Nicks Alliance , El Puente . The art is free - so this donation is a best way to give back to the community and show support.

Bushwick Collective: Info / Map / Self Guided Tour"

Self-Guided Upper West Side Walking Tour

Welcome to the Upper West Side (UWS) in the NYC borough of Manhattan. This neighborhood sits between Central Park and Riverside Park and stretches from 59th to 110th Street.

It is filled with culture, history, and (like most of Manhattan) money. The UWS is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the city. The average UWS 1-bedroom rents for almost $4,000.

Many visitors recognize the UWS from TV shows and movies. You’ve Got Mail, Seinfeld, and T he Marvelous Mrs. Maisel were all filmed here. The brownstone-lined streets, towering Central Park West residences and historic restaurants make this an iconic neighborhood.

Since the UWS is such a large neighborhood, it can be hard to fit everything into one walking tour. So, I created a shorter walking tour that covers the middle section of the neighborhood. This tour will take us from the Museum of Natural History at 79st Street down to the Lincoln Center at 66th Street. I’ve taken plenty of walking tours during my travels. I always enjoy learning more about a city’s history and culture. But, as a budget traveler, it can be hard to pay for these tours in every city. Instead, I’ve started taking self-guided walking tours. These are an affordable way to explore a city at my own pace.

My Self-Guided Upper West Side Walking Tour is designed to last anywhere from a few hours to a full day. Spend your time leisurely exploring the museums, cafes, and parks highlighted in this tour. Or, use this as a guide to maximize a short amount of time in the UWS. Either way, explore at your own pace and have fun!

Start: American Museum of Natural History

Central Park West & 79th St

To start our tour, take the B or C trains uptown to 81st Street-Museum of Natural History or the 1 train to 81st (on Broadway). If you take the 1 train, walk from Broadway towards Central Park to get to the corner of Central Park West & 79th Street.

We will start at the American Museum of Natural History. This impressive museum first opened in 1877. Theodore Roosevelt’s father was one of the museum’s founders. At this museum, you can see an expansive collection of fossils, natural dioramas, and cultural artifacts.

If you purchase your ticket at the counter , you can pay any amount. Yes, you can even pay $1 to visit the museum. So, before starting our walking tour, you might want to spend some time exploring this museum.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks off every year near the American Museum of Natural History . Look at the sidewalk at the corner of 77th and Central Park West to find a plaque commemorating the starting point. If you are in NYC over Thanksgiving, stop by the day before the parade to watch the balloon inflation. This is a fun lower-key event (than the actual parade) where you can watch the balloons being filled with air in preparation for the big event.

At this point, you are also close to the New-York Historical Society . Keep an eye out for their unique rotating exhibits. From the end of 2018-early 2019, this museum featured the Harry Potter: A History of Magic traveling exhibit. Unlike the American Museum of Natural History, this museum charges a standard ticket price of $21 for adults. Some exhibits cost an additional fee.

Outside the American Museum of Natural History, you can find one of my favorite NYC food carts, Wafels & Dinges . It is open from 8am-sunset. Stop by for a sweet or savory treat before starting our tour.

From here, we are going to walk to Zabar’s. Walk along 80th street away from Central Park.

Stop 1: Zabar’s

2245 Broadway (80th and Broadway)

As you walk along 80th Street towards Zabar’s , you will pass Sarabeth’s   at the corner of 80th and Amsterdam. This neighborhood favorite has been in the UWS for almost 30 years. It is a popular brunch spot, so you may want to add it to your weekend plans.

Zabar’s is a neighborhood institution. This specialty grocery store first opened in 1934. They started as a modest grocer and coffee shop. Now, 80 years later, Zabar’s spans almost the entire block. It is a massive grocery store filled with deli meat, smoked fish, bagels, and other NY classics.

Zabar’s was featured in the movies You’ve Got Mail and Manhattan .

If you aren’t from NY, be prepared before entering Zabar’s . NYC grocery stores are crowded and cramped. And people can get…easily frustrated if you are in their way. Try to be patient and embrace the true New York experience. Don’t let this keep you from checking out the store. This is a great place to grab an authentic New York bagel topped with smoked fish.

After you check out, we are going to keep heading West towards Riverside Park . Walk about 5 minutes along 80th or 79th street, and you should reach the park.

Stop 2: Riverside Park

If you are thinking of parks in the UWS, Central Park might be the first one you think of. But Riverside Park shouldn’t be ignored. This park sits between the Hudson River and Riverside Drive. It stretches from 72nd street up to 125th. If you want to spend the rest of your time exploring this park, consider trekking up to 122nd to see Grant’s Tomb . (This is the burial place & monument honoring the 18th U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant).

For now, we are going to continue south in the park. We are making our way to the bottom of the park (72nd Street). There is a nice walking trail through this park, so enjoy this as a quiet escape from the city streets.

You may recognize this park from TV or films. It has been featured in 30 Rock , Friends , Seinfeld , The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel , and You’ve Got Mail .

This park was first designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted (the designer of Central Park) in the late 1800s. Before its completion, other designers modified his design to create the park we know today. But, they kept Olmsted’s original plan for a park that curved along the river.

Keep walking south until you reach 72nd Street. Once you get here, you should find the Elenor Roosevelt Statue near the exit of Riverside Park .

Stop 3: Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial

Riverside Drive and 72 Street (just inside Riverside Park)

At the end of Riverside Park, you will reach the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial. Eleanor Roosevelt was an American diplomat, activist, and delegate to the United Nations. She was the wife of the 32nd U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. She is the longest-serving First Lady (1933-1945).

Although now she is widely celebrated, she was controversial during her time. She was outspoken and held radical opinions. She held regular press conferences and contributed to a newspaper column. Even after FDR’s passing, she continued to maintain an active political career.

This monument was dedicated in 1996, with Hillary Clinton giving the dedication speech. It is the first monument recognizing a U.S. First Lady.

Next, we are heading to the BEST bakery in the UWS. Get your stomachs ready. Head east along 72nd Street until you reach Amsterdam Ave. Turn left onto Amsterdam. At the corner of 74th and Amsterdam, you will see Levain Bakery .

Stop 4: Levain Bakery

167 W 74th St (74th & Amsterdam Ave)

Even if you are not ready for a sweet, pick up something from Levain Bakery for later. You will thank me, I promise.

Levain’s softball-sized cookies are the stuff of legends. I didn’t understand what my life was missing until I tried my first Levain cookie. Now, I’m hooked.

Levain opened in 1994 and this bakery has been drawing recognition ever since. Celebs like Taylor Swift and Kristin Chenoweth obsess over this bakery. Oprah even featured Levain’s Raisin Sticky Buns on her show.

This place frequently appears on Must Eat lists . And with good reason, seriously, these cookies are softball sized. Did you catch that earlier? These huge cookies are slightly crisp on the outside but warm and chewy on the inside. So. Perfect.

I recommend the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip cookie. But, their classic Chocolate Chip Walnut cookie is a crowd pleaser.

After you grab a treat (or 2), we are heading to our next stop. Head east on 74th Street until you reach Columbus. Turn right on Columbus until you reach 73rd Street. Turn left on 73rd Street. The Dakota will be just ahead, before you reach Central Park.

Stop 5: The Dakota

1 W 72nd Street (72nd Street & Central Park West)

The Dakota is the most famous apartment building in the UWS. John Lennon lived here until 1980, when he was tragically murdered outside the building.

The building was constructed between 1880-1884. It was ironically named The Dakota in reference to the Dakota Territory. During the 1880s, this area of Manhattan was pretty empty, reminding the builders of the large, open area in Middle America (oh, how times have changed).

The Dakota was made a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Over the years, a few famous faces have lived in this building including Judy Garland, Rosie O’Donnell, and John Madden. The building’s exterior was also featured in the classic horror film Rosemary’s Baby. 

From here, we are going to walk across the street and enter Central Park. We are going to visit Strawberry Fields , the memorial dedicated to John Lennon. Enter Central Park at 72nd Street. Once in the park, walk straight for about a minute (you will be on a sidewalk along a “main road”) Once you reach the fork, turn left. You should see signs for Strawberry Fields. Turn right to follow the signs. You should soon enter the small, quiet memorial.

Stop 6: Strawberry Fields

Strawberry Fields  is a small area of Central Park dedicated to the memory of John Lennon, who was murdered outside  The Dakota in 1980. The memorial was dedicated in 1985 by Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono and the New York Mayor at the time, Ed Koch.

This memorial features a circular mosaic with the word Imagine in the center. It is supposed to be a quiet, serene area, but it is often filled with the sounds of a busker performing their rendition of a Beatles   song. Tourists love to crowd around the circle and take an Instagram-worthy pic next to the memorial.

After you’ve paid your respects, taken your pics, or purchased a trinket, let’s move on. Our next stop is Tavern on the Green . You can head back the way you came and exit Central Park. Walk south along Central Park West until you reach 67th Street. Or, stay in Central Park and wander down. There are a few different paths you could take, but if you follow the main road (filled with runners and bikers) you will reach Tavern on the Green after about 10 minutes.

Stop 7: Tavern on the Green

Central Park, W 67th Street

You’ve reached another iconic UWS eatery. Tavern on the Green first opened as a restaurant in 1934. Before then, the building served as a sheepfold. Do you see the large open field in the middle of Central Park across from the restaurant? You are looking at Sheep’s Meadow. Yes, sheep actually used to graze here. Now, it is a popular picnicking and sunbathing spot for locals during the summer months.

Tavern on the Green has changed owners a few times over the years. It was a restaurant from 1934-2009. After 2009, the building was used as a gift shop and visitor’s center. In 2014, Tavern on the Green was reopened (to the delight of locals and tourists).

If you are looking for a nice meal, book a reservation at Tavern on the Green. My husband and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary with a nice dinner on the outdoor patio. The low string lights added a romantic ambiance to the meal. And the free celebratory slice of cake didn’t hurt my feelings!

If you want to spend more time in Central Park, consider checking out my Central Park Walking Tour . This tour ends at Sheep’s Meadow, so you could follow it in reverse from here.

Or, if you are ready to keep going, we are going to walk to our final stop. Head east and exit Central Park at 67th Street. Continue south until you reach 66th Street. Turn right on 66th Street. Walk until you reach Columbus. Turn left on Columbus. Then, turn right onto 65th Street. Soon, you will reach The Juilliard School.

Stop 8: The Juilliard School

60 Lincoln Center Plaza (Broadway & 65th Street)

You’ve reached the last stop on our tour, Juilliard . This is the famous performing arts school that trains students in dance, drama, music and other arts. Robin Williams, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jessica Chastain are just three of the hundreds of notable Juilliard alumni.

Juilliard started in 1905 as a small musical institute and has grown to be one of the most prestigious art schools in the world. The acceptance rate is just around 7%.

While you are in the area, stop by the Lincoln Center. This is a performing arts complex that is home to the New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet, New York City Opera and Metropolitan Opera. In the 1950s, John D. Rockefeller III helped fund and revitalize the Lincoln Center.

You could also stop by the Folk Art Museum . This small museum, located at 66th Street and Columbus Ave, features work by self-taught artists. It is free to visit, so check their website to learn more about the current exhibits.

Another option is to check out the TKTS Booth . Most tourists are familiar with the location in Times Square. But, you can also check out their Lincoln Center location inside the David Rubenstein Atrium at 62nd and Columbus Ave. This booth sells discounted Broadway and Off-Broadway tickets. The Lincoln Center booth opens at noon daily, but people often line up at least an hour early. I’ve managed to score a few deals at this booth, so if you are looking for cheap same-day Broadway tickets, you may want to stop by.

If you are looking for some food or drinks, there are a few great options in the area:

• P.J. Clarke’ s- Legendary saloon that opened in 1884 and serves a dang good burger
• The Smith – Classic American eatery with a killer brunch
• Joe Coffee – Family- ownded roastery with locations scattered throughout the city

We’ve reached the end of our tour. I hope you enjoyed exploring the Upper West Side. You can spend some more time in the area or hop on the subway and head to your next adventure. Juilliard is right next to the 66th Street station on the 1 Line. Or, continue down to 59th Street (Columbus Circle) where you can catch the 1, 2, A, B, C or D trains.

Our New York city tours let you experience the city’s many wonders at your own pace. Do check our other New York city tours here .

About the Tour

This Grand Central Terminal tour begins just outside the terminal, on 42nd St. From here, you can admire the elegant entryway and learn about the statues that stand guard atop its grand entrance.

You’ll enter the station via Vanderbilt Hall, a beautiful space named for the station’s founders. Get the facts on the unbelievably wealthy Vanderbilt family and enter the Main Concourse, which you’ve seen in plenty of films and TV shows! This concourse is even more impressive in person, full of marble, crystal, and gold.

Next on this Grand Central Terminal audio tour , visit the famous clock and learn why it might just be worth $20 million! And did you know Grand Central practically invented time as we know it today? You’ll learn all about that while crossing the vast concourse.

Turn your eyes skyward next, toward the remarkable Sky Ceiling. Each constellation painted here carries a special meaning, and you’ll hear all about that as you trace the beautiful paintings from one end of the ceiling. Plus, learn about when NASA damaged the Main Concourse with a rocket!

After that, you’ll unpack the hidden symbolism within the extravagant chandeliers and find out how the station’s employees get from place to place without crossing the busy concourse.

Then, visit the often-overlooked Station Master’s Office and hear about how part of Grand Central was once almost torn down by developers. Finally, head to the lower levels to visit the strange and wonderful Whispering Gallery and the lavish Oyster Bar, where New York’s Roaring ’20s have been beautifully preserved. This Grand Central Terminal tour adventure concludes here.

What You'll See

Welcome/introduction.

Your tour of Grand Central Terminal begins just outside the terminal itself. This journey will take your through this enormous, historic station and introduce you to history and details most visitors never know about!

42nd Street Sculpture and Clock

Visible from outside the terminal, "The Glory of Commerce" sculpture stands proudly atop the roof of Grand Central Terminal. It depicts three figures from Roman mythology, each with a specific meaning. Directly beneath it is a clock made of Tiffany glass.

Vanderbilt Hall

Vanderbilt Hall is the first area you'll emerge into upon entering the station. It is named for the Vanderbilt family, who were behind the construction of Grand Central Terminal. Today, it's also home to the Great Northern Food Hall, full of all sorts of edible goodies.

Main Concourse Summary

The Main Concourse is simply breathtaking. A positively cavernous space with an impossibly high ceiling, buzzing with activity day and night. All the marble and gold trim harkens back to the Gilded Age, which you'll hear all about as you enter this impressive space.

The Information Booth & Clock

Some of Grand Central Terminal's coolest parts are also the most humble, such as the Information Booth within the Main Concourse. This booth hides a spiral staircase which allows clerks to move between floors, as well as to a secret break room. As for the famous clock, some claim its face is made from real opal!

The Ticket Windows

The ticket windows might not look like much, but if you look carefully you can spot subtle symbols alluding to the wealth and status of the Vanderbilts. Just keep your eyes open for acorns and oak leaves!

The Sky Ceiling

The Sky Ceiling is likely the terminal's most impressive feature. Painted a cerulean blue and decorated with an immense mural of the Zodiac constellations, this vaulted ceiling is unlike any other. As you follow the string of constellations, you'll hear all about the fascinating myths behind each and every one.

The Chandeliers

Weighing in at 2,500 pounds and illuminated by 150 bulbs, the chandeliers in Grand Central Terminal are no laughing matter. They're even more impressive if you consider that in 1913, when the terminal was constructed, electricity in buildings was still quite a new phenomenon!

The Walls of Glass

These staggeringly huge walls of glass aren't just for show. If you watch them closely, you'll see terminal employees walking along catwalks within those walls! These also have some really interesting World War II history which you'll discover.

The West Staircase

Crafted from pink marble and modeled after the staircases of the Paris Opera House, this is no ordinary staircase. In fact, it's more like a work of art that just so happens to also function as stairs!

The Station Master’s Office

Humble and unassuming, the Station Master's Office is the real heart of the terminal. This is where the Station Master and their assistants make sure all the trains run on time and nothing goes haywire.

The New York Transit Museum

This small museum is a lovely glimpse into the history of New York Transit. It features a fleet of old-fashioned train cars, maps of now-abandoned tunnels, and all sorts of fascinating odds and ends. If you're a train enthusiast, this is the perfect place for you.

Whispering Gallery

You might notice people clustered in the corners of the so-called Whispering Gallery. That's because, by a strange fluke of the architecture, words whispered into one corner can be heard clearly from the opposite corner. It's always good for a bit of fun, so don't be afraid to give it a try!

This astonishingly lavish bar dates back to the construction of the terminal. With its opulent, Gilded Age aesthetic, it's the perfect place to lounge in luxury. There's a reason The Oyster Bar has been featured in shows like Mad Men! As you continue toward the end of the tour, you'll also hear about a fire which nearly spelled the end of this historic establishment, as well as how it was saved.

• Lower Manhattan Tours

Wall Street is synonymous with the Financial District and the nature of the business conducted in this area for about 225 years.

Many sights are worth a visit and the street can tell many interesting stories. 

The street is named for the wooden stockade constructed under the then-Dutch colonial governor Peter Stuyvesant on the northern boundary of New Amsterdam.

Federal Hall (former US Treasury Building)

Wooden markers in the cobblestone street are reminiscent of the wall designed to protect the Dutch colony from the British invasion.  

Our self-guided tour of Wall Street walks you through this history.  

We also include Wall Street as well as the Financial District on our pay-what-you-like Lower Manhattan Walking Tour  as well as a few other of our pay-what-you-like New York tours:

For more information on things to do on Wall Street and in the area, including where to eat and even where to stay, see our extensive post, What to do on Wall Street .

How To Get Here

Wall Street is in the Financial District on the east side of Lower Manhattan. All  hop-on-hop-off bus  companies have stops at Wall Street.

SELF-GUIDED WALL STREET TOUR

Click the map to enlarge

A - Trinity Church -  Corner of Wall Street and Broadway

Before you start the tour, admire this beautiful Gothic-inspired church.

Its steeple measures 284 feet (87 meters) and was once the tallest building in all of New York City.

It's strange to see Trinity dwarfed by all of the larger modern buildings surrounding it (of course, the tallest building in New York is One World Observatory ).  

Take a quick look inside to admire its stained-glass windows and roam about its graveyard.

The earliest burial dates back to the early 1600s when New York City was called New Amsterdam.

Notable burials include American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton (of $10 bill fame) as well as Robert Fulton, who invented the first viable steamboat. 

Read our self-guided tour of Trinity Church  and its graveyard.

B - 1 Wall Street

The first building on the right as one enters Wall Street from Broadway is one of the best-designed buildings of Ralph Walker.

In the Art Deco style, the building was constructed between 1929-32 for the Irving Trust Co.  

Through the tall windows, passersby are gifted with a view of the flaming mosaic walls designed by Mildred Meière.

The Bank of New York, founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1789, was the first stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange in 1792.

C - Bankers Trust Company - 14 Wall Street 

Located on the left side of the street, and built in 1912 by Trowbridge & Livingston, the stepped pyramid at the top is so iconic that Bankers Trust adopted it as the company logo.  

One thing you might notice is that this particular building appears to rise completely vertically, rather than inward steps.

This is because this building was built before New York City instituted its setback laws, which was a response to complaints that buildings like the Bankers Trust Building created a darkened Wall Street below.  

You can see the difference between this building and 40 Wall Street, which was built under the new rules.

D - New York Stock Exchange - corner of Wall Street and Broad Street

Originally formed under a buttonwood tree further west down Wall Street, the NYSE moved into this Classical style building in 1903.

Now part of the ICE, the Intercontinental Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange is the largest in the world, responsible for about $169 billion in trading daily.

The sculpture in the Broad Street portico is “Integrity Protecting the Works of Man” by John Quincy Adams Ward.

Be sure to read our full post on the New York Stock Exchange , which includes a virtual tour and video of the trading floors.

E - Federal Hall National Memorial  corner of Wall Street and Broad Street

George Washington (also designed by JQA Ward) is standing on what would have been the second-floor balcony of City Hall, which was located on this site until 1812.

Here is where the U.S. Congress met just after the American Revolution and it's where George Washington took his oath of office on April 30, 1789.  

Designed in the Classic style, with Greek and Roman details, the building is said to reflect the democratic ideals of ancient Greece and the power of the Roman Empire.

Step inside to see the former vault in the basement or visit the changing exhibits that are on display in several of the building's rooms.  

The National Park Service also operates a visitor center here. This is a great place to use the bathroom facilities.

F - Morgan Guaranty Trust -  corner of Wall Street and Broad Street 

The former Morgan Guaranty Trust Company at 23 Wall Street was the bank of J.P. Morgan, who said he did not need a skyscraper as a monument to his wealth since everyone knew how much he was worth.

On the Wall Street side of the building gouges can still be seen under the last two windows from a bomb blast in 1920.

A cart of TNT exploded, killing 33 people and sending more than 300 to the hospital with injuries.

No one was arrested, although anarchists were suspected of this domestic terrorism, the largest of its kind until the Oklahoma City Bombing.  

G - Trust Company of America - 37 Wall St.

Beaux-Arts style building designed by Francis Kimball was the center of the Panic of 1907, which encouraged the Federal Reserve system to be developed.

Today, Tiffany has a satellite store on the street level.

H - 40 Wall Street (The Trump Building)  

Constructed by H. Craig Severance and Yasuo Matsui for the Bank of Manhattan in 1929, it was designed to be the tallest building in the world.

But architect William Van Alen, who was building the Chrysler Building on 42nd Street, surpassed the height of 40 Wall Street by raising a spire atop the Chrysler Building three days after 40 Wall Street opened.  

40 Wall Street is one of our Top 10 Skyscrapers in New York City .  Today, it's owned by a quite famous New Yorker - Donald Trump.

I - Museum of American Finance - 48 Wall Street 

The Museum of American Finance is located in the grand hall of the former Bank of New York Building.

The Museum, a non-profit Smithsonian affiliate, is the only independent museum dedicated to providing educational programs on “finance, the financial markets, money, banking, and Alexander Hamilton,” according to their website .

As of March 2024, the museum has moved online.

J - 55 Wall Street

Built after the fire of 1835 destroyed the original Merchants’ Exchange, this three-story Ionic temple-style building boasts 16 single-block granite columns of Quincy granite and a commanding central hall that is now an events facility for Cipriani.

The upper floors were added by McKim, Mead & White in 1907 after the custom house relocated from this building to Bowling Green.

Today, the upper floors are 106 exquisite apartments for Cipriani Club Residences.

K - Deutsche Bank - 60 Wall Street 

This 50-story skyscraper is the tallest building on Wall Street.

Built in 1985 for JP Morgan and Company, it was purchased by Deutsche Bank in 2001.

Once the attacks of 9/11 damaged the company’s building on Liberty Street, the 5500 employees were relocated here.

The design is a modern interpretation of a Greek temple.

On the roof at 737 feet is a solar installation, the highest solar PV installation in the world.

This building was rumored to be the real headquarters of the Occupy Wall Street movement, holding events for the group sleeping in Zuccotti Park, just up Broadway.

L -  The Crest of 63 Wall Street

The 1929 headquarters of Brown Brothers Harriman; was converted to apartments in 2004.

The front is decorated with Greek drachmas.

M - Site of the Buttonwood Agreement - 68 Wall Street

An event that instituted the New York Stock Exchange in 1792. Traders gathered outside the building to do their business before moving inside.

The building burned during the fire of 1835, forcing the then non-profit association to move up Wall Street to its present location.

This concludes our tour of Wall Street.  If you found this tour useful, please share this with friends and family.

NYC Self-Guided Walking Tour by a Local (Lower Manhattan & Midtown Routes)

By: Author Charles

Posted on October 6, 2023

As a local New Yorker, I have spent the last 10+ years walking the ins and outs of the city. During this time, I have continued to explore different attractions, activities, viewpoints, and neighborhoods all over NYC.

Taking into consideration everything I have learned over the years, I put together this holistic NYC self-guided walking tour. It takes you along a Lower Manhattan walk, a Midtown Manhattan walk, and then ends up by Central Park. You can decide to stick to one long route combining the two, or just opt for one or the other.

Throughout the Lower Manhattan and Midtown Manhattan routes, this self-guided itinerary will have you seeing many of the top highlights that NYC has to offer.

Read on to learn more about the walk and how to see the city for yourself!

*  Affiliate Disclosure : This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you make a purchase through the links provided, at no additional cost to you. Thanks for supporting the work I put into TripTins!

1) NYC Self-Guided Walking Tour Details

Experiencing the city on foot is by far the best way to go about exploring NYC. As you head from one highlight to the next you will be able to really get to know different neighborhoods along the way.

When it comes to the full route, we are going to start all the way at the southern tip of the city at Battery Park, and then head up to Central Park from there. Breaking up the route into two is Union Square, located at 14 th Street. The Lower Manhattan route heads from Battery Park to Union Square, while the Midtown Manhattan route goes from Union Square to Central Park.

During the walk up there will be many attractions to embrace as you get to see a little bit of everything that the city has to offer.

Here are some helpful metrics about the walks, followed by a list of helpful things to know.

Lower Manhattan Route

• Starting Point : Battery Park
• Ending Point : Union Square
• Distance : 4.5 miles / 7.2 km
• Duration : 2 hours (walking only)

Midtown Manhattan Route

• Starting Point : Union Square
• Ending Point : Central Park
• Distance : 4 miles / 6.4 km

Lower + Midtown Route

• Distance : 8.5 miles / 13.6 km
• Duration : 4 hours (walking only)

Who is the Long Route For : the full downtown and midtown route is meant for those people who have a more limited amount of time to spare and are in the city for the first time. By taking part in this entire self-guided tour, you will be able to see so much in a single day & fully take advantage of your time.

Shorter Routes : if you want to take a shorter tour, I have broken out the route between a Lower Manhattan walk and a Midtown Manhattan walk. The two routes are nearly identical to one another in terms of mileage. You can do them over the course of two days, or just pick which one you are most interested in.

Stops : be aware there are spots along the way, which you can stop and visit for a longer period of time. Whether that be an observatory deck or a museum, there are several opportunities that will extend the day. Take this into consideration as you plan your route.

Central Park : the final stop of the day is going to be Central Park. While you can just take a quick walk around the southern end of the park, you may want to consider a separate Central Park self-guided walking tour . This will of course add additional mileage to the day, so be sure to factor that in as well.

Bus Tours : if you happen to want to opt for a guided tour at a faster pace, feel free to check out some of the best NYC bus tours .

2) Route Map & Directions

Below is a Google Maps view of the route from beginning to end. You can see that this is not just a straight-line up Manhattan. Instead, you will be going in and out as you stop by some top highlights along the way.

From a direction standpoint, it should be simple enough to just type in your next destination on Google Maps (or another navigation app), and follow the walking route provided. There are a couple of caveats here, which I will point out throughout this overview.

3) Lower Manhattan Walking Tour

Whether you are opting for the full walking tour or just want to focus on downtown, we start the route at the tip of Manhattan in Battery Park.

Battery Park

First up is Battery Park, also known as just The Battery. The park/neighborhood makes up the southern tip of Manhattan island and is a great place to take in some panoramas.

Since it is located at the tip, this is where you will be able to take in views over New York Harbor, where the Hudson River and East River meet up.

While the park is beautiful on its own, it is really the waterside walkway that makes it special. All around the edge of the park, you will find views of the Statue of Liberty , Ellis Island, Governors Island , New Jersey, and more.

This is also right near the Staten Island Ferry and the departure point for ferries to the Statue of Liberty .

Spend some time walking along the area, before continuing northbound out of the park and into the Financial District.

Charging Bull

Perhaps the most famous sculpture in New York City is the Charging Bull in the Financial District. This bronze piece of art weighs over 7,000 pounds and comes in at 11 feet tall!

The bull was built by an Italian immigrant artist named Arturo Di Modica. He built it as an ode to Wall Street and the optimism of financial growth.

Today, the bull sits on Broadway just north of Bowling Green. Plenty of tourists flock to the bull to take photos and enjoy this massive piece of Wall Street history.

It should take just about 5 minutes from the Battery Park waterfront to reach the bull and the surrounding Financial District.

New York Stock Exchange

As you continue northbound through the district, it is just another five minutes or so until you reach the New York Stock Exchange at 11 Wall Street.

Within the building, there is the famous NYSE trading floor. It used to be one of the (if not the most) chaotic trading floors in the world before electronic trading really took over.

While visitors cannot go inside the exchange itself, they are able to take in the views of the iconic landmark & its columns from the outside.

From the NYSE, you can continue northwest towards the next stop at the Oculus. Here you will find one of the more unique pieces of architecture in NYC. This giant white structure is home to a transportation hub and mall.

Before going inside, you can enjoy the views from the outside and admire the design. From there, head into the Oculus and walk through it all. There are many shops, food options, and more sprawled throughout the complex.

You can exit the Oculus from the top floor on the western side, which then opens up into the 9/11 Memorial Pools.

9/11 Memorial Pools

As you make your way around this memorial, you will see the two large pools that symbolize where the original Twin Towers of the World Trade Center once stood.

It is a humbling experience walking around the memorial and seeing the names etched into the pools’ exterior. Nearby is also the 9/11 Museum . If you have the time and are interested in learning more, the museum is an extraordinary place to visit.

For an elevated view over the memorial, head to Liberty Park on the southern side of the pools.

One World Observatory

Rising up 1,776 feet above the ground is the new One World Trade Center. The building was completed in 2014 and is one of many new buildings built around the area since 9/11.

While you can just take in the view from the outside near the Memorial Pools, you can also head on up to the very top floors. Here you will find the One World Observatory , Manhattan’s only downtown observation deck.

From the top, there are 360-degree views of the NYC skyline and outer boroughs. Depending on your overall route for the day, you may be able to take an hour to enjoy the top before continuing onwards.

Brookfield Place

Just opposite One World Trade is Brookfield Place and the Hudson River. After spending some time within the city streets, you can head into Brookfield Place, where you will find shops, food options, and restrooms.

This can just be a quick pitstop, as you then head outside of the building and begin to walk all along the Hudson River waterfront.

Hudson River Park

Next up is a relaxing walk up Hudson River Park . In its entirety, the park runs from Brookfield Place all the way up to 59 th Street. For the purposes of this walking tour, you will get just about a mile of waterfront to enjoy before heading back into the city streets.

Be sure to exit Brookfield Place on the waterfront, and then simply follow the path that hugs the river. You will first pass by Rockefeller Park before the promenade takes a turn and then continues past Pier 25 and Pier 26.

Pier 26 is one of my favorite piers in the city as it has its famous tide deck, lawn chairs, kayaking, and swinging benches to enjoy.

From there it is northbound until you reach the Pier 35 walkway. You can check that out for some of the most underrated views of the downtown skyline and Statue of Liberty.

Next up is SoHo, the shopping center of NYC and one of the city’s liveliest neighborhoods. Be sure to pay close attention to your navigation here as it is easy to take a much longer and less scenic route.

Cross over the West Side Highway near Pier 35 / Canal Street. Once across the street head north for a block to Spring Street. Once at Spring Street, just continue eastbound until you reach the heart of SoHo.

There is really a never-ending assortment of shops around the SoHo neighborhood. Everything from large designer brands to small boutiques, there will be something for you to find.

SoHo can get crowded with people so just be aware of the busier sidewalks and the hustle & bustle of NYC.

In addition to the stores, SoHo also has its fair share of art galleries, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. So, if you are in the mood to take a break at some point, you will have plenty of options.

Washington Square Park

After enough time strolling through SoHo, make your way up into the Greenwich Village neighborhood. There is always something going on in the streets of Greenwich Village as you make your way into NYU (New York University) territory.

The focus area of the Village is Washington Square Park. Here is where the famous fountain and arch can be found. All throughout the park will be an endless array of entertainment, hangout spots, music, and more.

I find the area to be one of the most diverse spots in NYC as you can really find a little bit of everything happening at once. There is no dull moment in Washington Square!

Union Square Park

From Washington Square Park, you can continue northbound for 10 minutes as you soon reach Union Square Park. The park sits right on 14 th Street, which unofficially marks the ending point of Lower Manhattan.

While the park itself is not too vast, the outer walkways of the park are what people come here for. Throughout the week there are farmer’s markets and artist’s markets that line the area. In addition, you will always find a game of chess or backgammon to play with a local.

Depending on your overall itinerary, you can end your NYC self-guided walking tour here or you can continue northbound as you take part of the Midtown Manhattan route.

Brooklyn Bridge Note : if you would like to include the iconic Brooklyn Bridge on your walking route, feel free to start your day in Dumbo. From there, make the walk across the bridge and into downtown Manhattan. This would add around 2 miles to the overall route.

4) Midtown Manhattan Walking Tour

For those who want to continue onwards (or who simply want to take part in the Midtown Manhattan self-guided walking tour), we begin the journey at Union Square.

From Union Square, head up Broadway for a half mile until you reach Madison Square Park.

Madison Square Park

Located between 23 rd Street and 26 th Street is Madison Square Park. The park marks the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway, where the famous Flatiron Building can be found.

While not that large, the park offers some scenic walking paths to make your way around as you take in views of the Empire State Building out back.

The famous Eataly supermarket is also located on the outskirts of the park and can make for the perfect spot to have a food or drink break.

Empire State Building

Just 10 minutes north along Fifth Avenue is the Empire State Building. You will begin to get a glimpse of it as you make your way up before the full building comes into view.

This is without a doubt it is one of New York’s most iconic skyscrapers and is a highlight of the skyline. While you can just take in the view from down below, you can also head on up to the top.

The Empire State Building has two observation deck floors – the 86th-floor outdoor deck and the 102nd-floor indoor deck. During a visit, you can opt to just go up to the 86 th floor, or you can buy a ticket for both .

It is also the only observation deck that offers select sunrise hours , for those that want to see the city come to life to start your day.

Bryant Park / New York Public Library

Another 10-minute walk northbound along Fifth Avenue is the New York Public Library building. When it comes to libraries, this is one of the most beautiful out there.

You can walk around the various floors taking in the architecture, and checking out different rooms. Once all done inside, make your way outside, where Bryant Park is located.

The Bryant Park lawn area is one of the best in the city. During the winter months, it is transformed into a market, ice skating rink, and holiday-themed restaurant . During the summer, you can find various events such as yoga and movie nights taking place here.

Grand Central Terminal

Now, once you leave Bryant Park, it is time to make a detour to the east as you walk a couple of avenues toward Grand Central Station.

Grand Central is one of the transportation hubs in NYC . In addition, it is also one of the most photo-worthy spots both inside and out.

The reason behind this is because of how beautiful the architecture is, most prominently its main concourse. The concourse comes in at 35,000 square feet with 125-foot ceilings (the windows themselves are over 60 feet tall!).

Attached to Grand Central is also another observation deck – SUMMIT One Vanderbilt . This is going to be a much more interactive and artistic experience compared to the other decks around the city.

The famous Chrysler Building also stands tall right next to Grand Central, so you are sure to see it up close and personal during a visit.

Times Square

Once all wrapped up near Grand Central, retrace your steps 10 minutes westbound to the next stop at Times Square.

While I am not the biggest fan of Times Square , I certainly see the reasonings for people to visit the area during an NYC trip. There is no place in the city like it, with its giant billboards, bright lights, and constant entertainment all around.

The Times Square area is quite large spanning from 42 nd Street up to 50 th Street give or take. The intersection of 7 th Avenue and Broadway is where you will find most of the action, but there really is something happening on every corner.

Rockefeller Center

From Times Square, head a couple of avenues eastbound, where you will soon come across Rockefeller Center.

At Rockefeller Center, there is a complex full of buildings, plazas, dining options, NBC Studios, and the famous Christmas tree (during the holiday season of course).

It is a scenic area to walk through as you have fountains lining the promenade up to the main plaza itself. During the winter the plaza is transformed into its iconic ice rink for all to enjoy.

Another highlight is the Top of the Rock observation deck , which is one of my favorites in the city. From the tri-level deck, you will get some of the best-unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline.

Fifth Avenue

It is now time to slowly end your self-guided walking tour as you make your way northbound to Central Park along Fifth Avenue.

While it is just 10 blocks away, you can stop at a few additional highlights near Rock Center.

The St Patricks Cathedral is located just across the street from the center. It is one of the most well-known cathedrals in the city and can be visited as part of a guided or unguided tour.

Another nearby highlight is the Atlas Statue , a figure from Greek mythology. The statue stands at 45 feet in height and weighs 15,000 lbs.

From there, you can continue up 5 th Avenue, take some breaks at some shops, and arrive at Central Park South right near the Plaza Hotel.

Central Park

Without a doubt, Central Park is one of my favorite destinations to visit in NYC. The park is one of the most famous in the United States (and the world) and has plenty of New York photo spots to enjoy. I am there nearly every week or so, strolling the paths and taking photos.

As you may imagine, there is just so much to see all throughout the 843 acres of Central Park. Some of the fan favorites of Central Park include:

• Wollman Rink
• The Mall & Literary Walk
• Bethesda Fountain & Terrace
• Conservatory Water
• Loeb Boathouse
• Belvedere Castle
• The Reservoir
• Among plenty of others!

Now, if you want to get more than just a glimpse of Central Park, you will need to add extra mileage to the overall day. In my opinion, the park deserves at least a half day to fully appreciate what it has to offer.

You can check out this self-guided walking tour of Central Park for a step-by-step overview. Similar to this article, I will walk you through how to see the park through long (or shorter) loops.

Other highlights near Central Park include The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, and Frick Collection museums on the Upper East Side. You can also find the Museum of Natural History on the Upper West Side and a great shopping/dining center near Columbus Circle.

5) Walking Tips

Before you head out for your self-guided NYC walking tour, note a few helpful tips & tricks to get you started.

Comfortable Shoes : since you will be on your feet a bunch, wearing comfortable walking shoes is essential. Try to avoid flip-flops or dressy shoes as those are not ideal for city walking.

Food/Water : you should have no issue finding food & drinks along the route. Restaurants, food carts, take-out spots, and more are frequent throughout the city.

Bathrooms : there will be some public restrooms along the route too. If you are having trouble finding any, many coffee shops or bars have restrooms that you can quickly run into.

Dress Accordingly : be aware of the weather for the day you are taking the tour. You will be outside for the most part so the weather elements will be at play. That could mean shorts and a T-shirt in the summer or a warm coat in the winter.

Directions : as mentioned earlier, Google Maps (or simply leveraging the map above) will best direct you from one attraction to the next. If you want to take a walking break / skip an attraction, then simply hop on the subway as you see fit.

No matter if you opt for the Lower Manhattan walk, Midtown Manhattan walk, or a combination of the two, this self-guided tour is sure to bring you to the top attractions in the city.

If you have any questions about the tour, feel free to add them below. Also, don’t forget to check out the other New York itineraries and guides up on the site.

Have fun out there and safe travels!

Blog stats: 800 words | 4-minute read

At-a-glance:

• More than 30 new murals have come to life in and around Downtown Seattle, from Belltown to SODO to the Chinatown-International District.
• Created by skilled artists, the murals are a new public amenity we want people to discover, engage with, and enjoy.
• You can see them first-hand via a self-guided walking tour. Earlier this week, we installed new decals on sidewalks in Belltown to highlight a walking route ( see more details below ).
• You can also join the next Belltown Art Walk on Friday, September 13 from 6 to 9 PM, taking place throughout the Belltown neighborhood. No advanced registration is required.
• The Downtown Mural Project is made possible by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and its Hope Corps program which provides funding grants to support artists and community-based organizations.
• This initiative is part of Mayor Harrell’s Downtown Activation Plan to revitalize and reinvigorate the greater Downtown Seattle area.

Mural enthusiasts, this is your time – come down to Belltown and enjoy some of Seattle’s newest and finest public art in the heart of the city. Here’s how you can participate.

Attend the Belltown Art Walk on September 13

Taking place the second Friday of every month, the Belltown Art Walk is a great way to check out art in Belltown first-hand, including the new murals.

You can participate this Friday, September 13 from 6 to 9 PM throughout Belltown.

It’s a free, self-guided, all-ages event hosted by a volunteer- and donations-driven nonprofit charity serving artists, the community, and the Belltown neighborhood.

Feeling more independent? You can enjoy the murals on your own schedule via a new walking route we’ve laid out in Belltown. Check out the short video, map, and sidewalk decal shown below – all of which can help you easily find your way to enjoy the murals.

How to get downtown by transit

We encourage you to consider taking transit to reach the murals in Belltown and Downtown Seattle. Downtown is served by Link light rail and buses from all over Seattle and the region.

To plan your trip, visit Sound Transit’s trip planner , King County Metro’s trip planner , or other tools like Google Maps or OneBusAway to find the most convenient transit route for you.

You can also consider biking, scooting, walking, or rolling if it works for your trip. Learn more on our Bike and Scooter Share website .

More about the artists

Local artists are at the core of this work. Their talents and creative inspiration have brought the new art to life. Here are a few photos highlighting several of the artists behind the new murals.

We encourage you to read more here about artists participating in the Downtown Mural Project – and check out more of their work.

More about the Downtown Activation Plan

Seattle’s Downtown Activation Plan is a roadmap to revitalize and transform Downtown Seattle now and for the future. You can find more details in this blog post from Mayor Harrell .

“Our Downtown Activation Plan includes a strong focus on making neighborhoods vibrant, engaging, and welcoming, including through an expansion of murals and public art. Through this festival and the new murals in Belltown, we hope residents and visitors will visit Downtown to see the creative and innovative spirit of our city, as well as come together, connect, and see themselves as part of Seattle’s tapestry,” – Mayor Bruce Harrell
