You still have several old Dutch churches in Brooklyn (the most famous one in Flatbush). St. Marks in the Bouwerie (oldest Church in NYC) is largely (though not entirely) a reconstruction, but so is Fraunces Tavern, if you know the history.
Lower Manhattan, largely built of wood in colonial times, was largely burned to the ground in the 1830s, which is why Manhattan lacks the "Olde City" charm of Society Hill, Philadelphia.
