About this audio guide
This guide to Stone Street in New York City opens in March 1657, when the Dutch residents of Breuers Straet, a lane of breweries in New Amsterdam, grew tired of the state of their street and made a proposal of their own. It follows the lane through English rule, a rename in 1794, and a December night in 1835 that put it in danger. Best heard standing on the cobbles themselves, looking up at the four-story fronts.
