Financial District

Best known as the financial services hub of New York City, FiDi is becoming increasingly residential. People are flocking to the area drawn by the convenient transportation, newly renovated apartments, and striking waterfront views.

At a Glance

It’s still the financial powerhouse of NYC and the nation, but FiDi is becoming increasingly residential thanks to its abundant transit, modern apartments, and waterfront location. During the day, the neighborhood sees an influx of office workers and tourists attracted to the many historical sites, museums, and phenomenal views of the Statue of Liberty. Crowds clear after the workday, and the Financial District becomes quiet and calm. Nightlife is confined to a few areas like Stone Street and the South Street Seaport, as many residents return to their amenity-rich buildings and rooftop patios.

The Mood

Although Fidi is packed with office workers and civil servants by day, it completely empties out at night offering a handful of post-work happy hours.

Heart of the Neighborhood

Stone Street is a pedestrian-only cobblestone strip where you can find tons of pubs and happy hour specials.

Neighborhood Quirk

FiDi is full of windy, narrow cobblestone streets that seem more akin to medieval Europe than Downtown Manhattan.

Best Perk

FiDi has incredible public transportation options offering access to practically every subway line.

Biggest Downside

During the evening hours, the neighborhood can feel low energy to some people because of the lack of traditional housing stock and amenities.

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.
