In celebrating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage up the Hudson River, the New Amsterdam Village—a replica of classic Dutch canal houses—will be set up all week, through September 14th, in the Bowling Green Park. Any proper cultural immersion requires food, of course, and you can expect herring, stroopwafels, krokets from Danku, and more.
And for a more locally spirited way to celebrate Harbor Day, stop by New Amsterdam Market's September meeting on Sunday, the 13th—a tremendous gathering of producers and purveyors at South Street Seaport, including Balthazar, The Bent Spoon, Saxelby Cheesemongers, Porchetta, and many, many more.
