The 1660 street was formally known as 'Brewers Street.” Stone Street is home to a fabulous Oyster Festival in September. This little alley full of restaurants is one of the few places in New York where you can drink in the streets! 

     2.  Abandoned Smallpox Hospital

Try taking a day trip out to Roosevelt Island on your next day off to get some really interesting and sometimes eerie shots of this overgrown and forgotten shrine to the past. The hospital opened in 1856 and closed some time in 1972. It has been named a historic landmark and photos there are always welcome! 

      3.    Belvedere Castle

    4.   Fort Tyron Park

Fort Tyron is a public park that borders Washington Heights and Inwood neighborhoods of New York City.  The park was the creation of philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and remains a historic landmark where The Battle of Fort Washington was fought in the American Revolutionary War. Insta worthy? We think, YES. 

 

     5.   Old City Hall Station

Old City Hall Station was built in 1904, and closed in 1945 due to modifications on the MTA. It is only available to view on a tour, which ranges with museum membership costs. For a mere $50, you can jump on the train and snap some memorable photos of the forgotten underground. Dont forget to mind the gap
