Happy Wanderers schedule walk of Lower Manhattan on Tuesday, March 19, 2019
On Tuesday, March 19, The Happy Wanderers will be exploring the area south of City Hall all the way to Bowling Green on the southern tip of Manhattan. This area constitutes the historic core of the colonial city as well as the financial district and has about 40 landmark sites.
Our meandering will take us past at least 15 of these sites including the US Customs House, Fraunces Tavern, Federal Hall, NYStock Exchange, Trinity Church, St. Paul’s Chapel, Woolworth building, 9/11 Memorial and the Oculus.
If you are interested in joining this first Wandering of 2019 on Tuesday March 19, board the 8.36am train out of Darien or the 8.39am from Noroton Heights bound for Grand Central. On arrival, congregate at the information booth in the center of the Great Hall. From there we will take the subway downtown to begin our exploration. We expect to walk about 4-5 miles, punctuated by the 11 am libation break at the historic Fraunces Tavern and lunch near the 9/11 Memorial. We expect to take the train back to Darien around 3-30 pm.
