PBS has a new show in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Dutch settling New York. It’s by Barry Lewis, the same historian that does the walking tours of various NY neighborhoods. The concept is similar, he walks through various areas pointing places of historic significance. Although this show also travels outside of the city to Albany. If you’re interested in the early history of NY or the US (as various aspects of Dutch culture were essential in the formation of American values) watch this show.
