Walking History

An activity that brings joy even from afar: a walking 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. tour of Lower Manhattan Revolutionary War sites. From The Wall Street Journal:

You wouldn't believe the number of participants who tell me that 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. is perfect for them because that is the only time they have nothing else scheduled. More important, however, is the fact that Lower Manhattan's revolutionary past is more easily accessible at that time. With the city's sodium -vapor lamps, there are no problems seeing monuments and statues that are obscured by traffic and pedestrians during the day.
