Join branch staff from New Amsterdam for an in person walking tour of TriBeCa! Learn more about the history and landmarks of this neighborhood and connect with community.
We’ll take a walk through the historically rich south of TriBeCa. The tour will last approximately one hour and will begin at our neighborhood library.
The name “TriBeCa” may be just a few decades old but the neighborhood itself embodies a rich history of the city as a place of decay, renewal, and preservation. In this walking tour, we’ll explore traces of the neighborhood’s history as a product of the city’s shipping industry and reflect on how a neighborhood that was once a forgotten relic has become one of the most sought-after zip codes in the country. Some stops include the Bogardus Plaza, Duane Park, and Washington Market Park.
