Stop At: National Museum of the American Indian
1 Bowling Green, New York, NY 10004
This tavern is absolutely loaded with history. It's here that many of America's Founding Fathers met to discuss the coming revolution as the British crown continued to squeeze the colonies. Today, in addition to still operating as a restaurant, the tavern hosts a museum on its upper floors that's definitely worth a stop for any history buff. NOTE: This 2-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Wall Street in 1 hours.
