Introduction
Lower Manhattan is New York's most historically rich and financially powerful district, stretching from 14th or 23rd Street south to the tip of Battery Park. It holds the financial giants of Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve vault, alongside the 9/11 Memorial and One World Trade Center in solemn tribute. The Staten Island Ferry terminal brings everyday bustle, while Little Italy and Chinatown add immigrant flavor. A single walk can take in the Statue of Liberty ferry, Trinity Church, Federal Hall and Castle Clinton, tracing four centuries of New York's growth from colonial outpost to world capital. After dark, Lower Manhattan's glittering skyline is one of the most iconic cityscapes on Earth.
