Financial District

The Financial District is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Manhattan. Its cobblestone streets date back to before the Revolution, and its office buildings are some of the city's first examples of skyscrapers.

The Financial District is littered with landmarks from historic points of interest like Federal Hall where George Washington was sworn in as president to modern monuments and sculptures.

There are plenty of elegant dining options, including Delmonico's, as well as casual spots where you can grab a beer and relax.

The Financial District often conjures images of cavernous canyons of concrete and looming glassy gray facades, but the neighborhood has amazing access to the waterfront and its many bike paths and plazas.

Packed with tourists and business people, FiDi is not your typical residential neighborhood, but it offers great subway access and proximity to just about everything.
