More information on Bowling Green Park
Resting on this patch of green at the end of Broadway is a treat after a hectic shopping spree in NYC. This was the spot where in 1733, Peter Minuit bought the island of Manhattan for $24 worth of beads. It is one of the oldest parks in the city and has become one of the many lunch spots for stockbrokers. This is also the place to pick up same-day discounted tickets for a Broadway or off-Broadway show. The park gets its name from the fact that colonial gentlemen used to bowl here, paying the annual sum of 1 peppercorn for the privilege.
