The morning opens on Wall Street where granite buildings seem to lean in and the George Washington statue watches the river traffic. Your guide gathers the group outside Federal Hall and, step by deliberate step, leads you through the oldest lanes of Manhattan — from marble courthouses to the bronze defiance of the Charging Bull and Fearless Girl.
