Lower Manhattan’s Financial District, with its architectural blend of old colonial churches and gleaming skyscrapers, has become the financial capital of the world. Today, New York corporate apartment residents will find much of the activity in this area is clustered around Wall Street, home to the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank, among many other financial businesses. New York corporate apartment residents living at the ExecuStay Financial Center will find that the area is also steeped in tradition, including landmark buildings such as the Federal Hall Memorial, where George Washington took his oath as America's first president, and Trinity Church / St. Paul’s Chapel, built in 1776. Governor's Island, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, the famous immigrant gateway to America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are all accessible via ferry from lower Manhattan. New York corporate apartment residents may also want to make it a point to visit the Tribute World Trade Center Visitor Center at 120 Liberty Street, a moving and sensitive place where visitors to the World Trade Center site can connect to the people from the September 11th community through walking tours, exhibits and programs. Residents will find getting around the neighborhood to be easy, as fourteen subway lines (A, C, E, J, M, Z, R, W, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and eight local bus routes converge in lower Manhattan; additionally, the Alliance for Downtown New York operates the Downtown Connection, a free bus service for visitors, workers and residents to find their way around Downtown. The route runs between the South Street Seaport and northern Battery Park City and riders can hop on and off the bus at conveniently designated stops.
