New York has been home to hundreds of first-of-their-kind accomplishments. Discover the setting of some of them, including the first baseball games, the idea for the credit card, and the original crazy gathering known as a flash mob. Learn fun facts along the way, such the reason Macy’s has a red star logo and the nickname of the Empire State Building in its early days. This Jane’s Walk appears on a website and includes walking directions so you can enjoy it either on the streets of Manhattan or as an armchair traveler.
