What to expect
Spring Street Park
This area used to be farmland, and had a spring running through it, hence the name of Spring Street. Today, you can find a beautiful and functional green space, updated in 2018.
Soho Playhouse
The spot where this playhouse now stands was once the home of Aaron Burr, third vice-president, and, if you know your history or have seen "Hamilton", the man who killed Alexander Hamilton. The Vandam Playhouse was built here in 1826, making it the oldest off-Broadway playhouse in the city.
203 Prince St
This home was built from 1833 to 1834, and was added to the National Register for Historic Places in 1983.
The New York Earth Room
This unique art exhibit is an opportunity to reconnect with Mother Nature, and the only exhibit of its kind left in the world.
The Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral
This is the first and oldest Roman Catholic Church in the city, and served the city until the newer St. Patrick's was built across from Rockefeller Center. The church still holds mass, in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
Elizabeth Street Garden
This spectacular sculpture garden is comprised of artworks donated by a local resident.
Old Police Headquarters
This police headquarters was constructed in the early 1900s, and is a great example of intricate architecture and design.
Italian American Museum
This cultural institution was once a bank and once-stop-shop, and is being renovated, with plans for the additions to be opened in Fall 2022.
Museum of Chinese in America
Established in 1980, the museum benefitted from a grant from Carnegie Corporation. It caught fire in 2021, and reopened in 2021.
Columbus Park
This area was featured in the movie "Gangs of New York", and features a statue of a respected Chinese leader.
Edward Mooney House
This home was built in the late 18th century, and was the last row house in the city.
