Battery Park City - Its Manhattan Plus Walking Tour

Once a collection of deserted piers along the Hudson River shoreline, Battery Park City has emerged as one of the City's most desirable neighborhoods. The secret to its success? A mix of public amenities and private initiatives, plus artistically designed natural landscapes. Highlights of this tour include parks, Poetry House, the Irish Hunger Memorial, Winter Garden, environmentally state-of-the-art private spaces and the politics behind it all.
