Walk from Chinatown to the World Trade Center in 4K — through Manhattan's Civic Center courthouses, past City Hall Park and down Broadway to the Oculus and the 9/11 Memorial as the evening lights come on.

The walk begins on Mott Street in Chinatown and continues past the Criminal Courts Building, Foley Square, the Municipal Building and City Hall Park, then down Broadway past the Woolworth Building and the Transportation Building to St. Paul's Chapel, the Oculus and the 9/11 Memorial.

Overcast skies and a quiet Sunday give the Civic Center an unusually empty, monumental feel — a sharp contrast to Chinatown's busy sidewalks at the start and the illuminated reflecting pools at the end, where the walk moves from nineteenth-century tenements and granite courthouses to the glass towers of the new World Trade Center.

No narration — just an immersive, real-time walk through New York City.
