Stop 3 - Newspaper Row

(Point of interest 8) - The famous Park Row (Face East, away from the Park)

There are many streets in New York that start with the word Park, but Park Row is one of the oldest and is named for City Hall Park! Park Row developed along a likely Native trading trail. If you take Park Row North, you will pass the Brooklyn Bridge and go through Chinatown, and end up in the East Village. Park Row becomes the Bowery during that journey! Some of the tallest buildings in the world were all on Broadway or Park Row.

Park Row was known as Newspaper Row because nearly 75 newspapers and printing houses were based here near City Hall. Along the street included buildings that housed the New York times (41 Park Row) the New York World (38 Park Row) the New York Tribune (now near a Ben Franklin statue (himself a newspaper publisher) across the street to the north) And the Associated Press (15 Park Row which was the tallest building in the world before the Woolworth building). 

The setting for the musical Newsies took place in this neighborhood with the kids selling papers for William Randolph Hearst or Joseph Pulitzer or Horace Greeley.

(Point of interest 9) Suffragette Street Sign

This intersection is named after two famous women's suffragists; Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony… the most powerful team in women's US voting rights history.
