FINANCIAL DISTRICT
The Financial District is a neighborhood at the southern tip of
Manhattan which comprises the offices and headquarters of many of the
city’s major financial institutions, including the New York Stock
Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank. The most famous street in the
Financial District is Wall Street, which is a symbol for money and
capitalism worldwide.
Many skyscrapers are located in the Financial District and they form the
southern skyline of Manhattan. The World Trade Center, which was
destroyed in 2001, was also located there. There is a plan to build an
even taller building on Ground Zero called the Freedom Tower which
includes a memorial for those who
were
killed on September 11, 2001.
