What To Expect
Financial District
The Financial District of NYC located at the bottom tip of Manhattan, where the East River and Hudson River meet. It features amazing views of the Statue of Liberty and New Jersey, as well as the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges. The Financial District encompasses roughly the area south of City Hall Park in Lower Manhattan but excludes Battery Park and Battery Park City. The former World Trade Center complex was located in the neighborhood until the September 11, 2001 attacks; the neighborhood includes the successor One World Trade Center.
Wall Street
New York Stock Exchange at Wall Street New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), one of the world's largest marketplaces for securities and other exchange-traded investments. On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, the opening of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was delayed after the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower, and trading for the day was canceled after the second plane crashed into the South Tower. NASDAQ also canceled trading. The New York Stock Exchange Building was then evacuated as well as nearly all banks and financial institutions on Wall Street and in many cities across the country.

5.00Visiting the memorial leaves us reflecting on the horror of the September 11 catastrophe. Ground zero, the museum and the new tower are worth the visit. For Wall Street, it is mainly the buffalo that attracts tourists. Excursion recommended.
