Stone Street in Financial District, Manhattan was
paved in 1658 is cobblestone thoroughfare and said
by many to be the oldest in the five boroughs. Its
unusual surface was renovated in 2000. Its
surrounding vintage brick buildings lend the stretch
a classic vibe. It's also packed with lot of food and
drink options.

3. Stone Street Cobblestone
• In 1996, the NewYork City Landmarks Preservation
Commission designated Stone Street as a historical
district. Stone Street once extended from Broadway
to Hanover Square is now divided by the former
Goldman Sachs building at 85 Broad Street is in the
shadows of theWorldTrade Center buildings just
north of Battery Park.
• The street was originally known as Brewers Street.
Prior to the 1640s, locals knew Stone Street as
Hoogh Straet or High Street. In 1794, a group of
NewYorkers renamed the passageway Stone Street
to commemorate the road as being one of the first in
the municipality paved in cobblestone.

4. Restaurants & Bars
© OnBoard 2010 4
• The street is pedestrian only and populated by several
restaurants and bars and has outdoor dining when the
weather permits. Some of them
• Harry's Cafe and Steak has a maze of rooms connects the
audible power buzz of its underground steak house and
wine cellar to the martini-sipping crowds in the lively bar.
• Mad Dog & Beans is an ideal drinking spot, with its vast
selection of tequilas, walls covered in old barn wood and
vintage photos of Pancho Villa lit by Edison bulbs, a
Mexican cantina.
• Beckett's Bar & Grill is where investment bankers crowd
the sidewalk seating to devour burgers, beer and sweet
potato fries.

5. • The eastern portion of the street and the
surrounding buildings has been protected since
1996 by the New York City Landmarks
Preservation Commission as the Stone Street
Historic District.
• The area also has Smörgås Chef, Stone Street
Tavern, The Waterstone Grill, Adrienne's
Pizzabar, Financier Patisserie, Ulysses' Folk
House and Vintry Wine & Whiskey and at Urban
Lobster Shack.
• Lobster rolls and chowders fill the stomachs of
tourists and local worker alike. Really there's no
need to choose to eat just go way up one side of
the street or down the other and you will have
good food.
