Stone Street Historic District
Walk Stone Street and you're on the medieval-scale street grid of Dutch New Amsterdam, predating the rectilinear grid by two centuries. It's said to be the first paved street in the city (hence the name). The 19th-century buildings sit on 17th-century property lines; the crookedness is the Dutch town showing through.
A cobblestoned colonial-era lane — reputedly the first paved street in New Amsterdam.
