There’s more to New York City than just “the city”
Manhattan Tours
New York County
When most people think of New York City they think of present day Manhattan– skyscrapers, museums, yellow taxis, Times Square and Central Park.
During colonial times, however, the span of New York City began at Battery Park and ended at Wall Street. Originally named Manahatta (Island of Hills) by the Lenape tribe, this borough is considered to be the heartbeat of the city. Through Jojos’ Ventures, learn about the Dutch origins of Lower Manhattan, the revolutionary artistry of Greenwich Village, the foundations of African American culture in Harlem and the elegance of the posh Upper East and West Sides. Each neighborhood has its own identity, culture and historical significance.
