Coenties Alley & Coenties Slip

Coenties Alley is a pedestrian walkway in the Financial District of Manhattan. It is very old, having been around for centuries. The alley is perpendicular to William Street and Pearl Street to which it links. A short distance to the south is Coenties Slip, another pedestrian alleyway. Both of these were named after Conraet Ten Eyck and his wife Antje, a Dutch couple who were the original land owner in the area.

Coenties Alley was originally called City Hall Lane. That is because New York City once had its city hall there during the Dutch administration. It was known as Stadt Huys, meaning "state house", and was built in 1642.

Getting there

The nearest subway station is Whitehall St (N, R).

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
