Description
Weave your way along Manhattan's famous buried canal as we take you on a winding journey through trendy Tribeca and into the thriving cultural hub that is Chinatown. Along the way expect to see the last surviving structure of 17th century NYC, the remains of a gruesome Revolutionary War prison, an homage to an ancient Chinese philosopher, and the Ghostbuster HQ (who you gonna call if any of this is haunted!)
All this plus puzzles, challenges, rest-stops at great bars and cafes and plenty of surprises.
This riddle-filled journey is perfect for anyone hoping to see the highlights and undiscovered secrets of these two landmark Manhattan districts. No NYC exploration can be complete without first taking the Slow Boat to Chinatown!
