Walking down Broadway

New York is a great city for walking - here are the lower 100 blocks to explore! Did you know Broadway goes all the way to Albany? On a bit of a ridge, it's a road that was here before Dutch settlers arrived in 1609. This historical photo by Bowery Boys is much later, and shows Bowling Green, at the foot of Broadway. The Smithsonian American Indian Museum is here as well and an amazing place to learn about the Lenape people and other First Nations of this continent.
