New York opens Heritage Tourism Center

In conjunction with the History Channel, the city has opened a Heritage Tourism Center in a booth next to City Hall Park.

historykiosk.jpgThe center (a.k.a. a kiosk) will serve as a central location for information about history-themed tours, activities and events at historical sites throughout the city's five boroughs, according to the city's official tourism outlet, NYC & Co.
Among the locations highlighted are Historic Richmond Town, Fraunces Tavern Museum, the Green-Wood Cemetery and the Morris-Jumel Mansion.

Gray Line is also running a daily, 90-minute heritage bus tour, with a costumed tour guide, that will take in Times Square, Herald Square, Chinatown and Five Points, the World Trade Center site, Bowling Green, the Police Museum, the Titanic Lighthouse Memorial, Greenwich Village and the Empire State Building.

The complementary web site provides a brief history of New York City.

The new tourism center is located at Broadway and Barclay Street. Map.
