The Heart of Manhattan

Business Historic Pedestrian-Friendly Luxury

The Financial District sits at the tip of Lower Manhattan. It is the oldest part of New York City – the city was created here in 1624. Known as the world’s center of finance, the district is home to the largest stock exchange in the world, the New York Stock Exchange. Sometimes referred to as FiDi, the district contains a variety of high-end restaurants and bars along Wall Street, popular hangouts for those working at the exchange.

Many landmarks are in the Financial District, including One World Trade Center, The National 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the Ellis Island National Immigration Museum, the Castle Clinton National Monument, and Battery Park. National Historic Sites include St. Paul’s Chapel, founded in 1766 and visited by George Washington after his inauguration in 1789. Stone Street, one of New York’s oldest streets, is a historic district, first paved in 1658.

Because so much is happening in the Financial District, it is packed with residents, workers, and tourists. It is considered one of Manhattan’s most expensive neighborhoods, but that hasn’t hampered its appeal – the district’s population has doubled in the last 20 years, and it is home to roughly 61,000 people. Today, what was once considered a daytime destination for workers around the city is one of Manhattan’s most-loved neighborhoods.
