By Samuel Cook

New York City offers a number of options for those who want to tour the city by bus or boat. However, there are far fewer options for those who want to see New York on foot. While New York City nightlife is easily uncovered for its visitors, there's much more to this big little city.

Now visitors have the option of Uncle Sam?s New York, which provides daily walking tours, which explore the fascinating history of America?s largest city. Visitors should also take note that Uncle Sam's New York is the only company, which can offer visitors interactive walking tours that let them truly experience some of the famous neighborhoods of Manhattan.

Uncle Sam's New York historical walking tours take the classic New York City neighborhoods and provide the real history that captures the essence of their story. Instead of randomly walking its visitors around a neighborhood, Uncle Sam's New York tours insist on providing a coherent narrative to explain the history of the neighborhood.

Uncle Sam's New York has chosen famous New York citizens to capture the essence of the story of each specific neighborhood.

Uncle Sam's New York's original walking tour is the Alexander Hamilton Financial District Tour including prominent landmarks like Battery Park, Bowling Green Fraunces Tavern, Wall Street, and the site of the former World Trade Center twin towers, to name just a few. This impressive walk uncovers New York City from its inception as a Dutch Settlement to it's ascent to the financial capital of the world. The story is told from the perspective of Alexander Hamilton, bringing the story alive through the eyes of a poor young immigrant who rose to become the first Treasury Secretary of the United States. This story captures the heart of the immigrant history that plays such a defining role in the history of New York City.

The Edgar Allan Poe Greenwich Village Tour leads visitors through the neighborhood where American literature, movies, modern music, and painting first came to life. This jaunt through the meandering Greenwich Village streets leads you from the Washington Square Arch to the folk music clubs on Bleecker Street. The tour is named after the man who is considered the father of American poetry, and will retrace the beginnings of the neighborhood that served as the birthplace of important historical art movements in the United States, from American Theater to folk rock and stand up comedy.
