We meandered around the Wall Street area and sought out some of the well known landmarks and statues. We located The Bull, the NYSE, and accessed the subway to/from other locales. It would ideally be an entire day in each area of NY to fully appreciate all of its unique features. read more

Had to walk Wall Street and shed a few tears of money lost during a bear market. We also visited the famous bull praying for a bull market year to come. There were two lines for photo ops, one in front of the bull and the more popular line, the back end of the bull! Haha! read more

I enjoy doing a little stroll down Wall Street when I am in the financial district area. More because I enjoy history and so much of it has occurred on this eight city block street. I also enjoy architecture and tall buildings. The New York Stock Exchange Building (the world's largest stock exchange) is the main highlight here with its marble facade, colonnades and triangular pediment with figures that represents commerce and industry. Nearby is Federal Hall where George Washington took the oath of office to be the first President in 1789. This was also home to the first Congress, Supreme Court, and Executive Branch offices. There are many other building of significance here that are worth checking out as you walk down its narrow street. Alexander Hamilton is buried nearby at the Trinity church. An unsolved bombing occurred here in 1920 that left many dead. And then there was the stock market crash of 1929. Nearby are lots of restaurants and food carts if you need a quick bite. Places of interest to check out are the Charging Bull sculpture, Zuccotti Park, Trinity Church, Oculus and the Freedom Tower. The Fearless Girl statue currently stands in front of the New York Stock Exchange Building. read more

Wall Street - Tree - Local Flavor Near Me - New York, New York

Where it all began - there is much history on Wall Street. 1st President of the United States, George Washington's Inauguration, 1789, at Federal Hall at 26 Wall Street (built 1703). The first skyscrapers were built in the area: the Woolworth building (built 1917) , 40 Wall Street (built 1929) . Alexander Hamilton is buried across the street at Trinity church. The streets are still narrow and close. The brisk New York pace was set here. Worth an exploration for everyone who ventures to the southern tip of Manhattan. Head west to the newest skyscraper, the Freedom Tower at the site of the former Twin Towers. Our grief lingers but we rise again and again undefeated. Yes, History. Take it in. Explore! I love this great city. Thank you for reading. read more

Possibly one of the most famous "Street" names in the USA, Wall Street is in Lower Manhattan. It dates back to the earliest settlements in the city by the Dutch, when it was "de Waalstraat." Today, Wall Street is known as the financial center of the United States. It is home to the world famous New York Stock Exchange. The "Charging Bull" is here. The statue of George Washington who was inaugurated here in 1789. The Bill of Rights was passed here. Alexander Hamilton is buried here. So yeah, it's famous. Since 9/11, security here is obviously paramount. Vehicle blockades and concrete barriers abound. NYPD security booths and cameras are everywhere. But it's still a spot that you absolutely need to visit when you come to New York. [Review 16536 overall - 318 in New York - 46 of 2022.] read more

Wall Street is an eight-block-long street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. It runs between Broadway in the west to South Street and the East River in the east. The term "Wall Street" has become a metonym for the financial markets of the United States as a whole, the American financial services industry, New York-based financial interests, or the Financial District itself. I take the 4 or 5 train to Wall Street sometimes. I hang around for the day. I used to have friends that lived nearby. After 911 you could get nice apartments for a very low price for Manhattan! Now when I go it's to see the sculptures. I also have some favorite restaurants in the area. It's a fun day. The architecture is amazing. The history is worth a read on Wikipedia. I can't explain this atmosphere. I feel different in these surroundings. It's unlike any other neighborhood. There's a little of everything on sale. There's such a variety of shops I can't get to everything I want to see. I'm highly recommending you visit when you vacation in NYC. See for yourself. Although I'm not into the Financial aspect of Wall Street's fame I find this particular place very moving from a historic perspective. read more

I'm not sure if I was still in a subdued state from visiting the 911 museum earlier but, I expected something more from this area. Not, that I'm disappointed just baffled. I mean come on Wall Street!

I guess I was unprepared for my visit because it seemed like just another street. read more

Such an historic and beautiful place to visit. Might not think that Wall Street is beautiful but it really is very historic and has beautiful architecture. Narrow roads and streets and alleys that just make it so cozy and old feeling. September 11, 2001 is still remembered here very vividly. It is of course a day that no one will forget. In this area they make it visible as well. We were just walking through and enjoying the sights and the architecture and it was still very moving to be in that area. read more

I love this area. Wall Street is the area where it is still accessible to not only trains but also ferries and walk-throughs. You are literally surrounded by the east river and Hudson River if you cross the path to the other side. There are so many stores eating areas and what I love the most is that, I think it's still a semi hidden gem. Just an increase the prices for right over here.

Let's face it, walking (almost anywhere) in NYC is no walk in the park. Wall Street is one hot mess- dodging people from every angle. There's always some construction work happening. It's damn madhouse to drive anywhere m. And what's the fu*king deal about taking a picture with a bull and have the bulls' balls as your backdrop? it's not cute! In the area to help my husband with some paperwork and went to Tower 4's 21st Fl. Views were spectacular. Although skies were gray that day, I still got a glimpse of the Bayonne Bridge all the way from where I was standing. On a holiday weekday, we drove in and was easy to get around. Any other day, as my husband tells me, it's insane. read more

Not a whole lot going on here besides busy New York City. The bull is a well known instagramable spot, but good luck getting a good photo! There are tons of people here all the time trying to get a picture, and you know how crowded NYC can be. It's a cool statue but other than that there's little to see.

Wall Street, home to the New York Stock Exchange, the Bull statue is a popular area of NYC, close to the World Trade Centre and Westfield mall, it is often rather busy and populated with tourists. It does have some impressive buildings, and I wouldn't say the whole area is very clean and it is a little poorly routed (not many signposts compared to the rest of the city) There are many branches of Starbucks around the side-streets and overall area, so there's plenty of places to have a rest sightseeing if you are on foot, but let's be honest where isn't in NYC? Slightly overhyped but still a cool place to see while in The Big Apple. 3* read more

Heck yea! I love money and as such this was a must see for me! I will caveat this biased review by mentioning that it is quite anti climactic as this whole street include buildings that aren't particularly special. Die hard with a vengeance was filmed here as well and as such I had a particularly enjoyable time. I was walking wall street late at night and stopped by the new york stock exchange, federal reserve and city hall (which is a bit off from wall street). As I said there is nothing special about the sights but if you are into investing and money like I would consider myself to be then you will appreciate the area that you are in. read more

The experience is both illuminating and frustrating. It is illuminating in that you feel the financial power that emanates from the buildings (we went on a weekend so we did not see the suits). I liked the narrow streets and the sense of history. It is frustrating because it is a major tourist stop and there are so many people! A good percentage of them seem bent on proving to the world how stupid they are by climbing on statues or hogging the scene so no one else can take a picture. And then we come to the Bull of Wall street. When we were there several tour buses unloaded and the front of the bull was overwhelmed with people and picture takers. Some idiot got the idea "let's take pictures of the bull's ass." And that led to "let's take pictures of the bull's ass and touching his nuts." Simply hysterical. At that point we headed out and went to the Museum of Native Americans at the bottom of the street. read more

Bears and bulls on Wall Street!! The one and only Wall Street is in New York, period. Dutch named "de Waalstraat" who were the first settlers of New Amsterdam erected a wall on the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement as defense against an anticipated British attack. (source: https://archive.archaeology.org/online/features/nycolonial/name.html) Wall Street has survived over two hundred years volatile stock market tragic crashes, hardships, struggles to rise, staggering losses, and gains. The passion to gain money is high. The Financial District is all about hustle and bustle where literally is "time is money." One can invest like a conservative bear or invest like a aggressive bull. For the out-of-towner, it is worth a visit to the Financial District as historic buildings nearby are Federal Hall Monument, New York Stock Exchange, Federal Reserve Bank of New York Building, American Stock Exchange Building, Trinity Church, and St. Paul's Church reverting back to colonial era when New York was the original capital. Be prepare to wait for your turn for a photo with Charging Bull. Wall Street lies the strength of America's commerce. read more

If you are visiting my humble city, I highly recommend stopping by Wall Street. It is a fantastic sight, the hub of a the world's commerce and should not be missed. Start at Wall and Broadway and walk the whole length. It's worth it. Eat lunch and sit on the Alexander Hamilton steps. Absorb the atmosphere, because the energy is unlike anywhere else. This street should be on every "101 Free NYC activities" list. It is wonderful to just be in it's in presence. Be sure to walk the whole thing and hit up the seaport at the end. read more

So when somebody says those two words: Wall Street, what do you think, of America's economy going up and down everyday Monday to Friday. Maybe you think of all the multi-billion dollar corporations down here making more money everyday. Maybe you think of that movie with Charlie Sheen a ways back? Maybe your looking for those sexy suits or corporate women in nice stiletto Ferragamo heels are lurking about with all their dazzle that you maybe could see them pounding back 'Manhattan's' in the nearby lounges after making a few million on the trade. Well... hmmm.. how to break this to you.... you may see the above, but what you really will see is the following: Tons of tourist, tons! As with most of Manhattan island it is flooded with people who probably all had the thoughts above, and probably all wanted to see the same things, but instead you see a bunch of camera toting tourists wearing the I 'love' NY shirts and security guards, NYPD everywhere trying to keep the peace. You will see tourists posing beside the NYSE and George Washington statue, and even people posing beside the famous bull (sometimes, depending on the day some other interesting pictures with the bull!) Trinity Church is down here, but on this trip there seems to be a massive renovation, also not too far off is the 9/11 Memorial. Just know, if your coming here at night, there is not much to do, some restaurants are open, but this is an area that is more Monday to Friday from the early mornings till when the bell rings at the stock market is when things are happening. You will find some high-end shops here like Tiffany's, Hermes, LV, and if you want some discounts, Century 21 and TJ Maxx is around the area. If your not digging the restaurant food, and you are here on a weekday, lunch hours on the street are pretty good, as the food trucks seem to come out of nowhere feeding everyone a quick bite. You can look at all the old architecture around the area, and how movies always mimick the destruction and apocalypse of this area, and if you think hard enough and imagine it all it comes to life. In the end I didn't see any of those pretty 'power broker' women walking around in their nice heels and expensive purses, maybe I was here on a bad day for the whole week. But my hotel was around here, and it was nice and quiet at night! read more

Wall Street is one of the places I think of when I think of New York City. I have both good and bad feelings about Wall Street. Just depends on how my personal portfolio is doing.

Wall Street - The source of all my stress - Local Flavor Near Me - New York, New York

Eh, it's all right. Not much to see to be honest. Not really worth your time if you are a tourist.

All about the $$ & the stability of the US economy, I guess. Wall Street in New York City is the mega hub of the financial district in New York City and very much synonymous with money, greed, mega corporations nationwide and possibly the world. It's the home of the New York Stock Exchange and (nearby) the American Stock Exchange. Being that I was an accounting major back in college, I had my chance to visit the mighty Wall Street & the New York Stock Exchange entrance) on a nice recent May 2014 visit. It was short, but I was glad that I got an opportunity to see Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, the Wall Street Bull statue (with people grabbing its jewels for a photo), and the American Stock Exchange. I agree that this is one of the more New York City sights to see while in New York. I had been sightseeing at the Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island, with a short detour at the National Museum of American Indian. Thereafter, I just walked up a few blocks to see the Wall Street Bull and onward to the New York Stock Exchange. I took selfies with the landscape itself and just soaked it all in since I was at the hub of the financial district of the world! With that said, Wall Street was crowded with people walking everywhere. It was madness, since it was nearly 4pm and rush hour was set to begin, if it hadn't already. I found some tourist folk talking photos too! Wall Street is more than not, a tourist trap, for the most part, which I'm sure a lot of local New Yorkers avoid the area at most instances, unless they work or live around there. I did enjoy seeing the staunch architecture that Wall Street aptly provides. It blends in with the rest of the highrises and skyscapers up like Chicago and San Francisco in a small section oflower Manhattan. It sort of felt like I was in Chicago somehow, but we were in New York City. Wall Street is located in the heart of New York City - lower Manhattan. There's even a rail station stop that's near here. A few routes stop here: 2, 3, J, Z. If you were like me, walking is perfectly fine and free. No admission required to come here to Wall Street) and I loved coming here, even when it was a drag to walk here on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Since I was close enough to NY Penn Station, I figured, why the hell not. I don't know when I will be back in New York City, but coming here to Wall Street was one of those experience you just need to do to check it off of the bucket list. There was a few food options nearby, but the main attraction was the NY Stock Exchange. The overall experience was kind of underwhelming to be honest, just because I came here around 4:30pm on a Friday when it was pure madness. It was really busy with plenty of New Yorkers and tourists walking and taking photos in front of the NY Stock Exchange entrance. This place isn't bad at all. There were hardly any homeless persons around to ask for money, which was good. It was clean enough, although there were bits of construction projects nearby, but that's about it. Just being here for 15-20 minutes reminded me of how amazing life is and we should cherish it while we can. Just like how my Statue of Liberty visit was epic anyway. It was nice to see Wall Street, but I guess for what's it known for: the mega hub of economic activity and financial transactions in the United States. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to see and visit to check it off the list as a place to visit in your lifetime, but the experience was just plan okay. Nothing really jumped at me, although seeing those people in fancy business attire was rather a culture shock. For me, I usually don't see that unless I am in a downtown district somewhere at home or while traveling. It was a good time here, even if it was for 20 minutes taking photos, selfies, and just taking in the moment. After that, I caught a train and headed into Chinatown for dinner (Pho Grand). Recommended if you are a 1st timer to NYC and just want to see it. Support local! C+ read more

I could whine about Wall Street and talk about how we're losing money and how terrible it is and how we're "fucked," or I could appreciate it for its History. The New York Stock Exchange was founded under a Buttonwood tree at 68 Wall. Wall Street itself is named as such because it marked the end line of the City with the wall put in place to keep out hostile Indian tribes. Trinity Church & Graveyeard (where Alexander Hamilton is buried) sits at the end of the block. Federal Hall is where George Washington was first inaugurated. If I want to complain about the Banks and the Exchange themselves, I'll do that...otherwise, I'll appreciate a little bit of history. read more

Yes I'm giving the Wall St area five stars for one important reason for which I'll get to shortly. Yes, it's an extremely crowded area most days as bus after bus drops tourists off to see the sights! From the famous Bull of Wall St, which legend says you don't touch his balls for fear of a recession, the NYSE building for which our economy revolves around, Tiffany's, and the old narrow streets! For me the significance of the George Washington statue is what is so incredibly cool! Not just a statue, but THE spot for which he stood and took the oath of office for President of the United States! I remember one time on a weekend trying to park nearby and asking a NYPD officer if I could park there for just a minute or two. He asked why and I told him I was headed to the inauguration site of GW and he couldn't believe it! He replied he was going there at the end of his shift to do the same! read more
