Overview

You'll learn about the history of NYC and how its subways and their art are part of everyday New York City life. I worked in 2 World Trade Center and have a unique understanding of how the buildings were constructed and what it was like to work there. Many of the pieces of art that you'll see are museum worthy and fun to look at, but most people just walk by them and don't notice them at all. We'll go through the newly created Fulton Mall transportation center and you'll see how New Yorkers navigate the complex network of subways that made lower Manhattan the financial capital of the world!

What's Included

  • One subway fare of $2.90 per person to view artwork within the transit system
  • Guiding Services and Expertise.

    What To Expect

    World Trade Center Station (PATH)

    You'll see inside The Occulus mall where you can catch the Path Train to New Jersey or almost any other train that's part of the New York City Subway system. We'll visit the reflecting pools, original footprints of One and Two World Trade Centers. Across the street is the original globe that was in the center of the WTC plaza and was damaged on 9/11. We will then go through the underground passage ways of NYC Transit to see historic and informative art installations. This part will require one subway fare of $2.90 because much of the beautiful artwork is just part of the commute to and from work!
