You'll march down the same triumphal route that Washington made during the British evacuation and listen to juicy tales of gang wars and riots. You'll stroll down to the Cooper Union, where Lincoln made the anti-slavery speech that propelled him to presidency, and see how the Bowery became the main street for sailors, gangs, sportsmen and waves of immigrants from all over the world.
