The Lost Stream of the Village: A Walking Tour of Minetta Brook Led by Steve Duncan

Flowing under today’s Minetta Street, Minetta Brook once ran from Union Square through the Village to the Hudson River. Join urban explorer Steve Duncan as he takes you on a walk recounting the history of this watercourse, how it impacted the city’s development, and how it was altered underground. He will also point out manhole covers, street names, and other surface-level clues to what runs underfoot.
