Battery Park in New York City was filled in to extend the tip of Manhattan south of Castle Garden, which since its creation above the walls of  Castle Clinton fortification in 1824 has been accessible only via pier.

NYC Walking tour - St. John the Devine

 

Cathedral of St. John the Devine

I just recently did my first tour of Saint John the Devine in Morningside Heights - NYC. The Cathedral which is the seat of the Episcopal Bishop of New York  is still unfinished since 1892 and the largest church in the world. Come and explore the many highlights of the Cathedral’s history, architecture, and artwork, from the Great Bronze Doors to the seven Chapels of the Tongues. Learn about the Cathedral’s services, events, and programs that welcome and inspire visitors from around the world with NYC Up and Down (www.nycUpAndDown.com).

Come and join me for NYC International Tour Guide Day Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. by the Titanic Memorial Lighthouse for a free walking tour of the South Street Seaport Area.

Designated by Congress in 1998 as one of several museums, which together make up "America's National  Maritime Museum", South Street Seaport Museum sits in a 12 square-block historic district that is the site of the original port of New York City. The Museum has over 30,000 square feet (2,800 m²) of exhibition space and educational facilities. It houses exhibition galleries, a working 19th-century print shop, an archeology museum, a maritime library, a craft center, a marine life conservation lab, and the largest privately owned fleet of historic ships in the country.
