Church and promenade
Begin at Plymouth Church and continue to the Promenade
The church’s antislavery history needs more context than an exterior stop can provide; reserve an official tour when that is the main interest
Leave time on the promenade for the Lower Manhattan skyline
Choose the final stop
Continue past Brooklyn Borough Hall to the New York Transit Museum
For a short skyline outing, finish at the promenade
The full track reaches the museum entrance; exhibitions and vintage subway cars require a separate visit
