This was another Manhattan day for my wife and I. We took the LIRR to Penn Station and then walked along 34th Street to 1st Avenue. My quest was to locate the location of the Kip’s Bay Brewery. I had found a website called Forgotten New York which said the building was at 1 st Avenue between 37 and 38 Street. The building on the block would seem to be from the mid to late 1800s time period. It almost looks like there are two slightly different buildings attached. Not sure which is the correct one or maybe both are. Anyways this is the location which I had read about from several sources. There are no plaques on the building and there are several business located there. 
We also walked by 2nd Avenue and 35th Street, which is the location of the Kip house before it was demolished about 1851.

For the remainder of the day we walked further to 42nd Street and 5th Avenue to visit the New York Public Library and have lunch in Bryant Park. It was a bit cool that day but we ate lunch and enjoyed the sun with a few others. We did a few hours of family research in the Irma and Paul Milstein Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy. We took a few images also with our digital cameras.
