6Stone Street (Financial District, Manhattan)

Stone Street, one of the oldest streets in New York City, dates back to the Dutch colonial period of the 1600s. Located in the Financial District, this narrow cobblestone street is a hidden gem, especially for history buffs. The street is closed off to traffic, allowing outdoor seating for the numerous restaurants and pubs that line it. The atmosphere is particularly magical during the evening when string lights illuminate the historic buildings, creating a charming and intimate setting amidst the towering skyscrapers of downtown Manhattan.
