In 2009, Wall Street Rising formed a strategic alliance with The Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) to bring new planning and public programming resources to Lower Manhattan. Among these are the new weekly tours of Downtown Manhattan on Tuesdays hosted by MAS tour guides.
Wall Street Rising is undergoing a website redesign currently, so please visit us again soon. In the meantime, we encourage you to take one of our new tours and learn more about the work of MAS by exploring (this) our website.
Every Tuesday at 12:30 p.m.
Downtown: Where New York Began
Join us for an hour-and-a-half tour of Downtown — its history, architecture, and art, and its fascinating denizens. Tour include Federal Hall, the U.S. Stock Exchange, Trinity Church, Fraunces Tavern, U.S. Custom House, and Bowling Green. Led by a professional MAS tour leader. Meet at the Downtown Information Center, 55 Exchange Place, Suite 401. (Adults, please bring photo ID.) Suggested donation: $10 donation.
The Information Exchange/Greenacre Reference Resource, affectionately dubbed TIE, is the MAS reference library and a well-known and esteemed repository of materials on New York City’s built and natural environments. The heart of the library is an exceptional and ever-growing collection of several hundred thousand clippings culled from major city dailies as well as neighborhood weeklies, national periodicals, and local newsletters. Urban planning, historic preservation, buildings, public art, open spaces, real estate development, and zoning are among the general topics represented.
Our reference library has moved. Its new location is:
55 Exchange Place, Suite 401
New York, NY 10005
