Unleashing 5 days in New York: here’s how I maximized my city adventure

Unleashing 5 days in New York — here’s how I maximized my city adventure, blending iconic Wall Street vibes, historical architecture, bustling Midtown, and moving memorial experiences 🗽🔥.

Day 1: Settle in at Hotel Indigo NYC Financial District (50 Trinity Pl). Highly walkable—seriously, you’re steps from Wall Street, subway access, and Whole Foods. Rooms are sparkling clean, modern, and the staff is super helpful. Tip: Pack light; space is tight for bulky suitcases!

Day 2: Kick off with New York Stock Exchange (11 Wall St; open Mon–Fri 09:30-16:00)—snap a pic in front for that finance flex. Stroll to Trinity Church (89 Broadway; 08:30–18:00) for epic architecture and a quiet breather.

Day 3: Explore Penn Station (NY 10119)—open 24/7—where trains and eateries collide. Next, museum-hop to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (180 Greenwich St; varied hours, usually 09:00–19:00). Admission is $232, so book ahead.

Day 4: Base yourself at The New Yorker Hotel by Lotte Hotels or nearby Fairfield Inn & Suites (Penn Station). Both offer Midtown convenience and good breakfast options—don’t miss NYC bagels!

Day 5: Federal Hall National Memorial is nearby, and it’s a cool historic spot in the Financial District—perfect for that old-school Insta snap.

Getting Around: Subway is your best bet (get a reloadable MetroCard for quick tap-ins), and walking covers most downtown sights.

Food Hack: Whole Foods for fresh eats, local delis for classic sandwiches, and try a slice at Joe's Pizza!

NYC Tips: Dress for quick weather flips, carry a power bank, and always check attraction hours (especially for museums).
