Wall Street

Classic New York. It’s a financial powerhouse as well as an educational gem. Located in a neighborhood where there’s plenty going on if you get there early or want to stay a bit longer.

There’s a mystic to this street. But I have yet to wake up at 4am and watch all the financiers make their trek through the street. Now that’s a view worth seeing from 4 to 8 am.

Wall Street is iconic. However, it really is just another busy street in NYC filled with high rises and large buildings. There are many residents who use this thoroughfare to get to and from work daily, as there is a subway stop here. And don’t forget the many tourists who flock here to experience what Wall Street is all about.

TAKE YOU’RE MONEY AND RUN!!! A lousy Two Percent if you’re Lucky??? You got better odds at a local flea market. You take all the risk and these suits push the BS on PBS for the long run HA!!. Invest in you’re self instead of a bunch of hustlers whom will take what you give with little or no return. Financial institutions run-​in the guberment strong arm stealing from Americans.

This place was the meh, small crowded street with not much to see. Only reasons to go here are either taking a photo with the Charging Bull (which isn’t even on Wall St.) or to be able to say that you have been here.

It is one of the places you have to see when visiting NY… However don’t waste time here, once you have a picture of the street name leave!
Don’t expect anything amazing or worthwhile… There is nothing!

Bears and bulls on Wall Street!
The one and only Wall Street is in New York, period. It has survived over one hundred years of stock market crashes, hardship, losses, and gains. The Financial District is all about hustle and bustle where literally is «time is money.» One can invest like a bear or invest like a aggressive bull. For the out-​of-​towner, it is worth a visit to the Financial District (aka FiDi), the buildings nearby are historic such as Federal Hall Monument, New York Stock Exchange and St. Paul’s Church reverting back to Colonial-​era when New York was the original capital. Be prepare to wait for your turn for a photo with Charging Bull.

Wall Street is one of the places I think of when I think of New York City. I have both good and bad feelings about Wall Street. Just depends on how my personal portfolio is doing. That determines how I feel about Wall Street that day.
It is cool to walk over here and take your picture with the bull. Other than that Wall Street is not a must visit place when we are in NYC. One visit is enough for me.

All about the Benjamins y’all! Walk down the street to see the Trump Building and Tiffany store.

Review from and for a tourist perspective — I am glad we went here and it was actually more interesting then some of the other tourist traps, but there isn’t a whole lot to see. My husband is in finance so of course we had to stop by here. The buildings are interesting to see and watching people take pictures of the bull is entertaining. However, it is really crowded and again not much else around here going on — so if you have a real interest in the area I would go, but if your unsure of going here or another destination, I think it can be skipped.

Einer der bekanntesten Straßen in New York ist die Wall Street in Manhattan. Hier befinden sich viele Banken und die größte und bekannteste Wertpapierbörse der Welt, die sogenannte New York Stock Exchange.
Übersetzt heißt Wall Street auf deutsch Wallstraße, und hat ihren Namen aufgrund des im Jahre 1652 dort aufgeschütteten Walls. Damals hieß die Stadt dort Neu Amsterdam und man wollte sich so vor den Überfällen der Indianer schützen.
Die Straße ist ca. 600 Meter lang und bildet das Herz des New Yorker Financial Districts. Irgendwie hatte ich mir das alles noch viel größer vorgestellt, aber da es ja auf dem Weg lag, haben wir uns alles mal schnell und oberflächlich angeschaut.
Am Kopf der Straße kann man die sehr bekannte Trinity Church besichtigen. In der Nähe befindet sich auch noch die Federal Hall, die ehemals eine wichtige Rolle spielte, als New York City noch die Hauptstadt der USA war. Hier tagte früher der der erste Kongress und es wurden dort die Bill of Rights beschlossen.
Da jeder New York Besucher mal an der Südspitze von Manhattan landet, sollte man auch die Wall Street besichtigen.

I like coming around this area. There is always people with high energy chasing wealth. This is a home to capitalism, perfect place to be one.
However, if you are not, this place is evil.
This guy from Occupy Wall Street said something I found funny:
«Capitalism is like a vending machine. It doesn’t work, but it takes your money.»
Can’t say I fully understand or agree.

Do you ever just look at someone and think, «hey, let me help you take your pants off?» Haha
It is a street in Manhattan (NYC) where the trading floor of the New York Stock exchange is… Also it is the street where George Washington was introduce as our first president… The entire financial district in lower manhattan is sometimes referred to as Wall Street… very busy area…
Ps: suit up!

If you are visiting my humble city, I highly recommend stopping by Wall Street. It is a fantastic sight, the hub of a the world’s commerce and should not be missed. Start at Wall and Broadway and walk the whole length. It’s worth it. Eat lunch and sit on the Alexander Hamilton steps. Absorb the atmosphere, because the energy is unlike anywhere else.
This street should be on every «101 Free NYC activities» list. It is wonderful to just be in it’s in presence. Be sure to walk the whole thing and hit up the seaport at the end.

Quartier des affaires, Wall Street est le centre financier mondiale qui abrite la bourse de New York. On croise parfois quelques traders dans cette petite et étroite rue qui se parcoure en quelques minutes.
En scrutant les façades, on aperçoit régulièrement des représentations d’ours et de taureaux qui se défient. Le premier représente celui spéculant sur la baisse et vendre du marché tandis le second et celui qui tant à la croitre et à acheter; Un duel qui image l’équilibre des marchés.

All about the $$ & the stability of the US economy, I guess.
Wall Street in New York City is the mega hub of the financial district in New York City and very much synonymous with money, greed, mega corporations nationwide and possibly the world. It’s the home of the New York Stock Exchange and (nearby) the American Stock Exchange. Being that I was an accounting major back in college, I had my chance to visit the mighty Wall Street & the New York Stock Exchange entrance) on a nice recent May 2014 visit. It was short, but I was glad that I got an opportunity to see Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, the Wall Street Bull statue (with people grabbing its jewels for a photo), and the American Stock Exchange. I agree that this is one of the more New York City sights to see while in New York. I had been sightseeing at the Statue of Liberty /​Ellis Island, with a short detour at the National Museum of American Indian. Thereafter, I just walked up a few blocks to see the Wall Street Bull and onward to the New York Stock Exchange. I took selfies with the landscape itself and just soaked it all in since I was at the hub of the financial district of the world! With that said, Wall Street was crowded with people walking everywhere. It was madness, since it was nearly 4pm and rush hour was set to begin, if it hadn’t already. I found some tourist folk talking photos too!
Wall Street is more than not, a tourist trap, for the most part, which I’m sure a lot of local New Yorkers avoid the area at most instances, unless they work or live around there. I did enjoy seeing the staunch architecture that Wall Street aptly provides. It blends in with the rest of the highrises and skyscapers up like Chicago and San Francisco in a small section oflower Manhattan. It sort of felt like I was in Chicago somehow, but we were in New York City. Wall Street is located in the heart of New York City — lower Manhattan. There’s even a rail station stop that’s near here. A few routes stop here: 2, 3, J, Z. If you were like me, walking is perfectly fine and free. No admission required to come here to Wall Street) and I loved coming here, even when it was a drag to walk here on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Since I was close enough to NY Penn Station, I figured, why the hell not. I don’t know when I will be back in New York City, but coming here to Wall Street was one of those experience you just need to do to check it off of the bucket list. There was a few food options nearby, but the main attraction was the NY Stock Exchange.
The overall experience was kind of underwhelming to be honest, just because I came here around 4:30pm on a Friday when it was pure madness. It was really busy with plenty of New Yorkers and tourists walking and taking photos in front of the NY Stock Exchange entrance. This place isn’t bad at all. There were hardly any homeless persons around to ask for money, which was good. It was clean enough, although there were bits of construction projects nearby, but that’s about it. Just being here for 15 – 20 minutes reminded me of how amazing life is and we should cherish it while we can. Just like how my Statue of Liberty visit was epic anyway. It was nice to see Wall Street, but I guess for what’s it known for: the mega hub of economic activity and financial transactions in the United States. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to see and visit to check it off the list as a place to visit in your lifetime, but the experience was just plan okay. Nothing really jumped at me, although seeing those people in fancy business attire was rather a culture shock. For me, I usually don’t see that unless I am in a downtown district somewhere at home or while traveling. It was a good time here, even if it was for 20 minutes taking photos, selfies, and just taking in the moment. After that, I caught a train and headed into Chinatown for dinner (Phở Grand).
Recommended if you are a 1^st timer to NYC and just want to see it.

Also ich fand’s auch recht unspektakulär, aber das ist wohl so, wenn man vor einem Gebäude steht, welches zwar den größten und wichtigsten Parketthandel der Welt beherbergt, aber als Gebäude selbst nicht wirklich beeindruckt.
Das geht einem in Frankfurt vor der Börse ähnlich.
Interessant auf jeden Fall das Peoplewatching der Banker auf der Wallstreet und im Umfeld insgesamt.

So when somebody says those two words: Wall Street, what do you think, of America’s economy going up and down everyday Monday to Friday. Maybe you think of all the multi-​billion dollar corporations down here making more money everyday. Maybe you think of that movie with Charlie Sheen a ways back? Maybe your looking for those sexy suits or corporate women in nice stiletto Ferragamo heels are lurking about with all their dazzle that you maybe could see them pounding back ‘Manhattan’s’ in the nearby lounges after making a few million on the trade. Well… hmmm. how to break this to you… you may see the above, but what you really will see is the following:
Tons of tourist, tons! As with most of Manhattan island it is flooded with people who probably all had the thoughts above, and probably all wanted to see the same things, but instead you see a bunch of camera toting tourists wearing the I ‘love’ NY shirts and security guards, NYPD everywhere trying to keep the peace. You will see tourists posing beside the NYSE and George Washington statue, and even people posing beside the famous bull (sometimes, depending on the day some other interesting pictures with the bull!) Trinity Church is down here, but on this trip there seems to be a massive renovation, also not too far off is the ⁹⁄₁₁ Memorial.
Just know, if your coming here at night, there is not much to do, some restaurants are open, but this is an area that is more Monday to Friday from the early mornings till when the bell rings at the stock market is when things are happening. You will find some high-​end shops here like Tiffany’s, Hermes, LV, and if you want some discounts, Century 21 and TJ Maxx is around the area. If your not digging the restaurant food, and you are here on a weekday, lunch hours on the street are pretty good, as the food trucks seem to come out of nowhere feeding everyone a quick bite.
You can look at all the old architecture around the area, and how movies always mimick the destruction and apocalypse of this area, and if you think hard enough and imagine it all it comes to life. In the end I didn’t see any of those pretty ‘power broker’ women walking around in their nice heels and expensive purses, maybe I was here on a bad day for the whole week. But my hotel was around here, and it was nice and quiet at night!

Walking around Wall Street is pretty cool. There’s several nice buildings, the stock exchange, the bull, and overall plenty of people to people watch.

The NYSE is lit up really pretty at night, it was red white and blue.
P. S. On nights and weekends, my friend warned me that a lot of stuff may not be open. So, go with friends or whomever, be safe. Although, there are often plenty of us tourists around snapping the photos.
If you want the «people everywhere, bustling financial district experience,» try and visit during business hours during the week.

Wall Street is the financial district of New York City,[1] named after and centered on the eight-​block-​long street running from Broadway to South Street on the East River in Lower Manhattan. Over time, the term has become a metonym for the financial markets of the United States as a whole, or signifying New York-​based financial interests.[2] It is the home of the New York Stock Exchange, the world’s largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies.[3] Several other major exchanges have or had headquarters in the Wall Street area, including NASDAQ, the New York Mercantile Exchange, the New York Board of Trade, and the former American Stock Exchange. Anchored by Wall Street, New York City is one of the world’s principal financial centers
Great Place to visit and people to know in New York City

Meh… nothing too fancy. I was expecting much more from «the financial capital» of the country. I may not have visited all the dynamic areas, but Wall Street itself was a bit of a letdown. Not many places in NYC were, but this definitely was.

It was nice visiting Wall Street as a tourist! :)
We got to see Trinity Church, Trump Towers, the New York Stock Exchange, and Tiffany’s!
What more could you ask for? It’s free!
