The replay an important part of history in the early stages of New Amsterdam. The first City Hall had been a tavern and brewery first.

And the first paved street, known then as Brewers Street, was the first paved street in America. He was built and paid for by the Brewers of the city, whose carts were constantly getting stuck in the mud. Today it is known as Stone Street and the original paving stones are still there.
