Wall Street Wonders: Explore NYC’s iconic Financial District

Explore NYC’s iconic Financial District 🚶♂️🗽 — from age-old churches to the buzz of Wall Street! Wondering what’s a must-see in Lower Manhattan? Here’s my top list for a legendary day out.

🕰️ Top Spots to Visit:
1. Trinity Church (89 Broadway, 08:30–18:00): Step inside this neo-Gothic landmark, grab peaceful photos, and enjoy quiet before the city’s madness kicks in.
2. New York Stock Exchange (11 Wall St, 09:30–16:00 M–F): Snap pics at the world’s most famous stock market. You can’t go in, but the vibe outside is pure Wall Street — traders, suits, high-energy!
3. Federal Hall National Memorial (26 Wall St, 10:00–17:00 M–F): Check out where George Washington was inaugurated! Free entry, and you’ll score major historic cred. Closed weekends though, so plan accordingly.
4. Wall St (Open 24/7): Walk the legendary street, dodge tourists, spot the Charging Bull statue, and channel your inner finance guru.
5. Zuccotti Park (Cedar St, 06:00–23:00): Perfect for a pit stop, coffee break, or some people-watching amongst slick skyscrapers.

🚆 Getting Around:
Jump on the subway — it’s the fastest way to hop between these spots. The 4/5 line gets you right into the heart of the action. Street food carts near Wall Street are a cheap, quick lunch hack.

🍕 Don’t Miss:
Grab a slice at Joe’s Pizza or snag an NYC bagel at Leo’s Bagels (multiple locations close by). Both are wallet-friendly and absolutely classic!

💡 Insider Tip:
Most places open early, so start your day with Trinity Church to beat the crowds. Federal Hall is best done mid-morning, right after photo ops at NYSE.
