The financial heart of the city is a buzzing web of narrow streets, incredible history, and dazzling architecture. Buildings and sites dating back to colonial times are juxtaposed with towering skyscrapers representative of the city’s present and future. Busy weekdays and nights give way to quiet, leisurely weekends.
The Life
Drawn by luxury apartments and ease-of-access to the rest of the city, families and young professionals are transforming what was once the sole province of office workers and financial executives into a burgeoning residential zone. There is a growing range of restaurants, bars, and shops, and between cultural sites like the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and Trinity Church, sub-districts like South Street Seaport, and outdoor spaces like The Battery and the East River Esplanade, there is never a lack of something to do.
