Description
The world's financial artery
The history of Wall Street goes back to the original Dutch settlement of the area. Once a fortified wall against the British, the street now represents the financial strength the world looks toward. Home of the NYSE, the world's largest securities exchange, banks and brokerage houses line the street
The biggest attraction at Wall Street is the New York Stock Exchange at 11 Wall Street, but the people and companies behind America's and the world's financial transactions work up and down the avenue. Insurance companies, banks, brokerages and other important mediums for business call Wall Street home. Visitors can expect dark suits and striped ties in any of the coffee houses or nearby bistros during lunch. A walk down the street or via one of the many tours is highly recommended to tourists of Manhattan.
