Mevrouw’s Manhattan – A Walking Tour
Version 1.0.0
The remnants of New Amsterdam are written in the streetscape of lower Manhattan. Follow this tour from Bill Greer, author of the novel The Mevrouw Who Saved Manhattan, either online or on foot, with block by block stories of places and people from the Dutch era.
About 1625, the Dutch founded the tiny settlement of New Amsterdam where the novel The Mevrouw Who Saved Manhattan takes place. Mevrouw Jackie Lambert’s tavern looked out on the bay from Pearl Street, which ran along the island’s original shoreline. This tour guides you through lower Manhattan, where Mevrouw’s world is still written in the streetscape. Along the way, you will meet some of the crazy characters who made New Amsterdam such a bawdy place.
