Financial District NYC Guide: Bars, Restaurants & Things to Do Time: 36:42
This episode will give you all the spots you need to check out in the popular Financial District of New York City!
Where is the Financial District in NYC?
While most neighborhoods in NYC do a bit of blurring together, the Financial District technically covers most of the southernmost tip of Manhattan.
It runs from the West Side Highway on the west to the Brooklyn Bridge and East River on the east. This neighborhood runs from the north, starting at Chambers Street and City Hall and running south until The Battery.
Battery Park and Battery Park City are not technically a part of the Financial District, but we will include them as part of our guide to the lowest part of Manhattan.
