Exploring the Financial District and The World Trace Center. Check out 10 HIGHLIGHTS you should not miss when visiting Downtown NYC.
Hey Guys!
Let's explore some of the oldest corners of NYC. Wall Street and the Financial District are often thought of as a mere financial hub, but these streets are full of History, Anecdotes, Attractions, and Museums you do not want to miss. After all, this is where New York came to be. Even before NY was named NY, when it was New Amsterdam (1624) part of a Dutch colony.
10 HIGHLIGHTS NOT TO MISS
▫ Lady Liberty Panoramic View - 00:16
▫ Battery Park - 00:22
▫ The Fraunces Tavern - 00:36
▫ Stone Street - 01:05
▫ Bowling Green - 01:35
▫ The Charging Bull - 02:12
▫ Wall Street & NYSE - 02:28
▫ Trinity Church - 02:59
▫ 9/11 Memorial - 03:11
▫ The Oculus - 04:16
These are only a few of the things you can explore when spending time downtown. As you watch the Video you can read of the anecdotes and fun facts about these places, but there is so much more to discover!
For example, when did the Charging Bull appeared for the first time & why do we call it the Wall Street Bull but it's not on Wall Street?
Or why the streets here are not numbered and don't seem to respect grid plan? Why is Wall Street called Wall Street? And so on!
If you want to explore more, you can join me on one of my waking tours around the city.
