- Let's take a look at the origins of the most famous street in the most famous city in America - Broadway, NYC! Once the main street of a colonial town, walk the entire length of the original street with me.
#nycwalkingtour #nyctour #broadwaytour
We'll pass The Bowling Green, Gen. Washington's Headquarters, Traitor General Benedict Arnold's home, Trinity Church, St. Paul's Chapel, Kings' College, and much more. And we'll learn all about the rich history of the street.

This was such a nice view. Thank you!
I used to walk those streets daily, working at 222 Broadway and 125 Broadway. Very familiar with 1 Broadway/IMMC. That bulding still has labeled entrances for First Class, Second Class, etc. There was White Star Line's old office, where news of Titanic's sinking was relayed, the Cunard Building, etc. Great places to walk around, explore, have lunch in a former bank vault, etc. Great stuff. Thanks again!
I love how in the middle of the modern city you can still see remnants of the past ❤. I bet a lot of people walk by these sights every day not even aware of it
I regret not having toured this part of Manhattan when I visited long ago. Only recently did one of the genealogy sites advise me office an ancestor who fought under Gen. Washington and survived the winter at Valley Forge.
What an eye opener to see so much is still intact from that era: the green spaces, the churches, even house numbers and side streets.
Thank you for bringing this to life.
My pleasure!
Wow! I ate lunch in the cemetery on a field trip. The whole of Mrs. Cheser's Fourth Grade class of 1956.
I shall seek more great history from my new subscription!
I loved this tour! I am from Asia, but I am so interested in the history of New York City. The first time I visited NYC back in the 90s and took my first city tour, I was already hooked. Since then, I've visited NYC 2 more times, but I still have not seen every historical site it has to offer. Now, I have to add the sites you've shown in this video to my itinerary the next time I visit. I love New York!
Enjoyed this video very much. Excellent delivery and informative. Thank you 😊
Thank you! Greetings from the Netherlands
Wow thank you for this video. I was born and raised uptown broadway. It’s funny that people who was born and raised in Ny don’t typically know all these gens and beautiful sites that New York City has to offer. We take living here for granted in some small ways. I would love a tour of my beautiful city one day. Good job !
THE BROADWAY history is indeed interesting. THE BROADWAY is also known for it's theatres! I LOVE THE BROADWAY!!
Hey Mrs.Q,
I saw you on mysteries at the Museum, I thought it was so cool!!!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this!
Love it!
Fascinating, thank you. The Brits were big on burning churches, shops and people's houses during the war. In my town, and many New Jersey towns, they basically torched everything.
I live in NYC. It's cool to watch videos like this. 👍
Tremendous video. I am a Native New Yorker and although I knew a lot of New Yorks history I learned a lot
There be giants of Tartars that built those buildings with enormous doors.
This Is completely Beautiful.
Thank you!
I love these videos. Isn’t Hercules Mulligan the best name ever for a patriot?
Thank you, and YES, it is the best name in NYC Revolutionary War!
So so enjoyable! So glad I found this
Outstanding video! I’m really growing quite fond of your channel Mrs Q…it almost makes me feel as though I’m back in Colonial New York!
Thank you kindly, sir.
Love the history thanks for taking the time to share it with us.
Loved the video Mrs. Q! We thoroughly enjoyed our in person tour w you back in June of this year for my wife’s 50th BD. I highly recommend her tours to anyone visiting NYC! Thank you Karen!
It was my pleasure!. Thank you for following on social media and for the referrals. No better advertising than that!!!
The city hall area and park
Would love to know more about it
I enjoyed your video! I have to say I was disgusted to see a Subway in that beautiful # 2 or 3 Broadway building! Really? They had to put that cheesy sub joint in that amazing historic building. Man O Man!
I love this stuff. Im addicted to your videos, so informative and entertaining. Well done.
Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!!
FANTASTIC VIDEO GREAT HISTORICAL VIDEO!!
@3:00 It was before the Dutch, a well trod Indian Trail that extended way beyond the confines of the Island, the Indians called Manhata....
16 bucks and baubels of beads lolololol gotta wonder why indians were mental
thank you history is everywhere isn't it.
Broadway started out way before the colonial days as an Indian trail that ran from the tip of Manhatten to upstate New York. then the Dutch made it a road.
The Dutch didn't try to ward off the English when they took N.A. because it"s fleet was off securing the Spice Islands from the english as the Dutch were making more money from those islands than from New Amsterdam
Thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you for this!
Thank you for watching!
Capt.Kidds block and tackle from his ship was used in the building of the first Trinity Church.As you know he lived on Pearl St.
Yes, thank you for adding that info!
Thank you for your personality! Could you provide more information about the land of Manhatton Island, before it was sold to the Anglican Church? I'm interested in the Lutheran story.
Very interesting video ! Lots of history on Broadway. When I saw you at Warren St. I was hoping you knew about the Beach Pneumatic Transit. It was the first test subway built under Broadway in 1870. It is my favorite thing to point out whenever I am walking Broadway !
1870 is waaay after my time period. LOL!
@@MrsQHistory haha I agree it is very off the topic of this video ! If you are interested in learning about the Beach Subway I made a video explaining it all, It is a great story
Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching!
Amazing video!!!
Thanks for watching!
This helped me visualize thing so well! Thank you! Hope to take one of your tours in person one day.
Thank you! I look forward to seeing you one day.
A New York pidgin cameo 😂🤪
What a shame they have put up so many buildings and ruined the foliage! Great video ! Once again you have out done yourself! I tip my bonnet to you! Dear Lady Q! Have a great week!
Thank you, and I hope to "see" you this Friday for Mrs. Q Live!
i would be interested to know what Washington's route up Manhattan was, toward Fort Washington. My G7 Grandfather, Timothy Taylor was at Brooklyn Heights, and was part of the escape to Manhattan, thanks to the 400 Marylanders.
I'm not sure of the exact route. Eyewitness accounts say they crossed from Brooklyn to Manhattan and landed about where Maiden Lane and Water Street is today, then moved North of the city. (The city's Northern limit was about Chambers St today.) If you can find a copy of Barnet Schecter's "Battle for New York" he will have the details.
I have a short video here on my channel about the crossing.
Thank you for watching!

I heard o another video that originally Broadway was a Native American foot path! Im.not sure just how long the foot path was, but you can bet I'll find out!
It was!
This was a great vid showing the nice homes and structures that were often built by enslaved people who lived in the shacks
Did you used to broadcast on Periscope by any chance?
No, I didn't.
Would it be possible to have a look inside the beautyful churches? Greetings from Austria
The churches are still closed due to COVID-19. I am trying to make arrangements to go inside for a video tour. Stay tuned!
@@MrsQHistory Thank you. I really love your tours.
