   Passes by

2. Just steps from #9 Broadway, the Charging Bull offers more than just a photo op — it’s a reminder of resilience, especially as it was a gift from the artist after the 1987 stock market crash.

   Passes by

3. Perched directly across from Battery Park and the Charging Bull, One Broadway witnesses both commerce and celebration—a silent guardian of Lower Manhattan’s vibrant history

   Passes by

4. ust steps away, at 89 Broadway across Wall Street, stands Trinity Church, a National Historic Landmark with roots dating back to 1697—its 1846 Gothic Revival spire soaring to 281 ft and once the tallest point in New York City

   Passes by

5. Towering at approximately 100 feet tall on Riverside Drive and 89th Street, this majestic marble-and-granite memorial, completed in 1902, honors New York’s Union Army soldiers and sailors who fought in the Civil War

   Passes by

6. The Canyon of Gloom is not an official landmark like the "Canyon of Heroes" on Broadway—but it's a colloquial or poetic term sometimes used to describe certain stretches of New York City’s Financial District, particularly narrow streets flanked by towering buildings that can feel dark, imposing, and devoid of sunlight.

   Passes by

7. Zuccotti Park, nestled in the heart of Lower Manhattan between Broadway and Church Street, is a rare 24/7 public plaza that blends sleek granite design, leafy trees, and modern art just steps from the World Trade Center

   Passes by

8. Constructed between 1919 and 1924 (with a 1935 eastward extension), this 14-story structure was crafted in a Florentine Renaissance style by York & Sawyer, evoking the commanding presence of Italian palazzos like the Palazzo Strozzi and Palazzo Vecchio

   Passes by

10. Installed on March 7, 2017—just before International Women’s Day—by State Street Global Advisors, the bronze statue by Kristen Visbal portrays a 4 ft tall girl with hands poised on hips and chin raised in quiet strength. Originally placed to face down the iconic Charging Bull at Bowling Green, it was intended as a week‑long installation but remained due to its overwhelming resonance.

    Passes by

About New York City

New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.

Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
