Around Financial District
The Financial District is filled with high-rise buildings and condos set against picturesque cobblestone streets and waterfront views. The northern section of the neighborhood puts you right by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, City Hall, and City Hall Park. You’ll also enjoy views of the Brooklyn Bridge, which is one of the nicest walking paths in all of New York. On less fair weathered days, you can easily access the 4, 5, and 6 subway stations. Living in a condominium in the northern part of the neighborhood offers a more family-friendly lifestyle, while the southern section might be more ideal for entrepreneurs or those trying to hone their crafts.
The Financial District has the perfect combination of high-end dining and casual eateries. You’ll find a variety of cuisines from Cuban and Italian to Chinese and American. Since 1837, Delmonico’s has been feeding residents and visitors by offering options like lobster or dry-aged steak. Pearl Diner is another neighborhood staple where patrons can sit down to enjoy a cup of coffee and fluffy waffles. Take a walk down Stone Street, a beautiful cobblestone street lined up with a variety of restaurants and bars.
The Financial District is filled with famous landmarks such as the Trinity Church, a parish founded in 1697. Next to the beautiful Battery Park is the National Museum of the American Indian, which holds Native American art & artifacts—some of which go back 12,000 years. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is integral to the DNA of New York City and commemorates the World Trade Center. And of course, the iconic Charging Bull bronze statue symbolizes New York’s financial industry, located near Wall Street is a popular landmark to take photos.
The Dead Rabbit NYC is a well-known two-story bar offering top-rated food options and vintage cocktails. For a more low-key spot, locals swear by O’Hara’s—a classic pub offering wings, burgers, and beer. Pier 17 is a popular outdoor venue that features live events and concerts, and the Bowery Presents always has top-notch acts and performers. There are also plenty of shops and bars just a few blocks east at the South Street Seaport.
Enjoy a cup of coffee in the iconic City Hall Park. Then go shopping in the massive Westfield World Trade Center. From there, you can stroll over to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum where you can walk around the memorial pools. Afterward, walk towards the South Street Seaport Historic District and grab some dinner while enjoying views of the river.
No matter where you are in the Financial District, it’s easy to get around town. The Fulton Street subway stop is one of the most accommodating in the city. The A, C, 2, 3, J, Z, 4, and 5 trains all go there. The above-ground choice is the M15 bus from the Fulton Street stop. If water transportation is more your speed, the Staten Island Ferry and the NYC water taxi are easily accessible. The Financial District also has some of the best views of the Brooklyn Bridge as well as the Brooklyn Bridge subway station. You can also take a walk or bike ride on the bridge to get from Manhattan to Brooklyn.
