Description
Iconic Pearl Street, New York City - By Dora Sofia Caputo
Pearl Street is a street in the Financial District in Lower Manhattan, running northeast from Battery Park to the Brooklyn Bridge with an interruption at Fulton Street.
The history of Pearl Street dates back to the early 1600s, when the Dutch first settled on the southern tip of Manhattan. Its name is an English translation of the Dutch Parelstraat (written as Paerlstraet around 1660). This street was named for the many oysters found in the river. During the period of British rule, Pearl Street was known as Great Queen Street.
Pearl Street is home to one of the oldest, if not the oldest, most iconic restaurant and museum, Fraunces Tavern, a place that played a significant role in the American Revolution. It is the site of General George Washington's famous farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolution.

You are absolutely right, Kathryn! But of course, I took this picture on a Sunday, when all the businesses are closed, so all you see is just a few residents and tourists.

An excellent capture of this iconic street! Sad to see it almost deserted due to the pandemic! You will have to post another picture of it, when this nightmare is over, Dora. Hopefully by this time next year, things will be more or less back to normal, but they will never be quite the same again. Then this picture will have an historic significance.
