Lower Manhattan

Lower Manhattan. Financial area

We are right near the bay. The beginning of Lower Manhattan. Financial area starts here.



Not far from here was World Trade Center and Stock Exchange.



View on Brooklyn bridge. It is really beautiful!!!

Tourist bus

People are different

This lady doesn't look like the rest of New Yorkers, she is "a little" different. 
The rest of NY is pretty slim. Probably work hard, or just don't like to eat so much :-) 

American tourists

These people are not New Yorkers, definitely. They seem to be even not from the cost, but somewhere from the middle part of the US. 
Cost people are not fat at all, they all are in a very good shape.

Financial area. Lower Manhattan

He likes it here, doesn't he? :-)

Special Police

Special police dept, like order guards, don't really know.

Wall Street Bull - Good Luck Burnishing

 
This bull greets visitors to New York's financial district.
It's near the Stock Exchange.


I read a while back that if you look closely, you will notice that the testicles on the statue are brilliantly burnished -- from the hands of myriad stockbrokers rubbing the statue there every day for luck on their way to work.

Very "wide " streets

Mix of architecture

Architecture is mixed in NY

Street sales

I saw them only in New York. I surely didn't visit all the cities in the USA.
But street markets (food and clothing) are only in Big Apple.



It reminds me Odessa with all the grandmas, Privoz and 7km.
I love street sales! They make the city more alive.



You can stop and chat with these people. Most of them are very nice.
They are not rushing, running anywhere. Have a plenty of time for you.
Even if you don't buy anything.

Strange but funny monuments

Monuments in USA are different

View on Manhattan and World Trade Center

World Trade center comapring to other buildings

Tower of Freedom, or Freedom Tower

Will be built on the place of the World Trade Center.

Area around World Trade center.

NYC police. NYPD - New York City police department.



These buildings are very little comparing with WTC.





On this small place 7 buildings were standing, and 2 of them - WTC.



World Trade Center. A picture from the helicopter, probably.
You see how twice higher they are.

Memorial in memory of the victims of 9/11

This is a very important flag. the names of all the victims are written on it.



Souvenirs are sold here: books with photos, pictures, badges and many others.



A lot of people are here. Different nationalities, different countries.
This is like a place of pilgrimage.

Construction on the place of the World Trade Center

A very high building is going to be here. And seems to be beautiful.
It is called a Tower of Freedom, as I remember.





This is a normal NYC road. Not very little, but just imagine how many cars are there!!!

Around World Trade Center. A view from the window.
