Newgate Prison was here, 1797-1826

Best paired with a Hudson River stroll

Weehawken Street is just one block long, but it's been a Dutch tobacco plantation, New York's first prison, and home to Teddy Roosevelt's family. Today it's a quiet, history-soaked escape hiding in the shadow of the West Side Highway.
