From the Charging Bull to City Hall, moving here means that you’ll have some of the best shopping options, dining, cultural institutions, arts, and architecture to enjoy in a part of the city that hustles by day and is way more laid-back at night.

There’s more to it than just Wall Street in these parts. To the east, the bounds of this downtown neighborhood are on the edge of the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge. To the west, you’ll find the West Side Highway is a demarcation line. The Battery waterfront and park is to the south and to the north is Chambers Street and City Hall Park.
Beyond the streets and sights that surround the perimeter, you’ll definitely want to dig deeper for details on the Financial District, including:
- Arts, Architecture, and Culture. Though the city is full of sights and sounds, this neighborhood has a collection of them that’s all it’s own. To begin, you can experience the breathtaking World Trade Center Oculus. It’s both an impressive architectural structure and a transportation hub and it makes getting to other parts of the city a breeze. You’ll also be next door to the World Trade Center memorials and the One World Trade Center building (complete with an observatory at the top of 102 floors). Appreciating the neighborhood’s namesake wouldn’t be complete without taking a selfie with the Charging Bull statue on Wall Street. If museums are to your fancy, you’ll have a few to visit nearby. Getting up to speed on US financial history seems appropriate as a new resident of the area, so clear an afternoon to check out the Museum of American Finance. You might also put the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and Fraunces Tavern showcases collections from the Colonial and Revolutionary era in the state on your list of places to visit.
- Hustle by day, stroll by night. While the neighborhood is certainly known for its economic goings-on and fast-paced business during the day, many report that the wheels spin a little slower after hours. In more recent years, this has made the neighborhood more attractive for families looking for a centrally located spot in the city that is calm for children in the evening hours. Does your family include four-legged canine friends? If so, you’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of apartment buildings and pet-friendly eateries so that they can be in, out, and about with you. Another reason why folks are flocking to downtown Manhattan? The Financial District is said to be one of the cleanest in the borough.
- Shopping of all types. FiDi is full of retail goodies for those who like to shop until they drop. If that’s you, this means you’ll be in the midst of all the best spots to peruse and swipe your plastic to purchase — and literally be able to drop right by your place nearby when you’re done. From department stores, to chic boutiques, to boho flea markets, this neighborhood has it all. Within Brookfield Place and the stores at Westfield in One World Trade Center, you’ll find high-end and well-known brands as well as some great places to eat and fuel up for the second leg of your shopping spree. Hermes on Broad Street will likely also be on your shopping list of places to stop with exclusive fashions. Whether it’s the latest trends or special pieces, you’re likely to find it in FiDi.
- Fantastic FiDi food: Finding your flavor or what tastes tickle your fancy won’t be hard in this part of Manhattan. You’ll find everything from typical diner grub to pinkies-up fine dining. One such place, Delmonico’s fits the bill for fine dining in the neighborhood. Open since 1837, it features white tablecloths, chandeliers, and grand paintings on the walls; it really sets the mood for a special night. Not to worry if you’re on the hunt for more of a greasy-spoon menu. You can find it in FiDi as well. Pearl Diner is a great spot to grab a seat on a swivel stool at the bar for a classic egg and bacon breakfast on the cheap. And you know it’s good because they’ve been slingin’ diner cuisine for 50 years. Not sure what you want (or what might work for your crew)? Look no further than the South Street Seaport. Formally known as the Fulton Fish Market, this location is home to a number of restaurants, bars, and shops — a great spot to meet up with your pals or a special someone. Stone Street is another city street that’s known for being full of flavor and tasty libations.
- Cost of living. Living in Manhattan is definitely going to be higher than many places in the US, so setting your expectations accordingly is wise if you’re relocating from outside of the city. For instance, those high-end retailers will also have the added costs of sales tax, which locally add up to 8.875% on your receipt. If you’re already an NYC resident and making a local move, you’ll be happy to know that luxury building living can be found at a fraction of the cost of nearby areas and other parts of the city (relatively speaking). So what does that mean in housing costs? If you’re planning on renting, the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom is between $3488 and $5,552. For those hoping to own their home in the downtown area, the median listing cost is at $1.3 million and averages $1.3k per square foot. Where else may you make out like a financial bandit? Being centrally located in lower Manhattan will make taking economical forms of transit a breeze! Public transportation options from the city’s Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) are easy to find and cost $2.75 per one-way ride on the subway or buses.
