Lower Manhattan

It can take days to meander through the neighborhoods and discover all the intriguing nooks and crannies of Lower Manhattan—but there are a few must-see attractions. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum is a moving tribute, while the Statue of Liberty graces New York Harbor as a proud symbol of freedom. On the way there, try a pickle out of a barrel on the Lower East Side and wander the cobblestone streets of TriBeCa to get a sense of the “real” New York.
