Listen Albany: Pearl Street Stroll Listen Albany

Episode 1: The Pearl Street Stroll | The first episode of Listen Albany is a guided walking tour of Albany's historic Pearl Street. Learn where famous duel-opponent Aaron Burr kept an office, see the home of the oldest pulpit in America, and hear a story about a young Herman Melville. Begin your stroll at the intersection of Hudson Avenue and Pearl Street, and walk on the left side of the street north, towards Clinton Avenue. The narrator will instruct you where to stop, and a bell will instruct you when to begin walking again. Pause the podcast as needed to reach each stop, or at any time to take a detour, soak in the sites, or stop for a bite at one of the many Pearl Street eateries. Have fun!
