When you're in NYC, you can't miss the world-famous attraction that is the Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge was completed in 1883, making it one of the oldest suspension bridges in the nation and an essential piece of the city's skyline. The bridge connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, extending 1,595.5 feet over the East River. It is equipped with six lanes to accommodate vehicles and a walkway along the centerline for pedestrians and bicycles.
The New York Stock Exchange is located at 11 Wall Street in lower Manhattan and is one of the most famous fixtures of the city – making it yet another of New York City's must-see attractions. The NYSE is America's preeminent financial institution and the largest stock exchange in the world. Wall Street runs from Broadway to South Street on the East River. One of the most iconic symbols of Wall Street was the Charging Bull sculpture, but the sculpture has been relocated to Bowling Green. The sculpture represents the bull market economy and market prosperity.
