Adrienne's Pizzabar at 54 Stone Street in the Financial District serves thin-crust pizza and Italian fare on one of downtown Manhattan's most charming cobblestoned pedestrian streets. The outdoor seating fills quickly during warm weather, while a second location in West Palm Beach extends the concept to Florida. The bar and full Italian menu make it more than a simple pizza joint, drawing both the FiDi lunch crowd and evening diners.

Chris Cannon, Jane Epstein and Vicente Wolf'have opened Alto, the team's most ambitious restaurant project to date at 11 East 53rd Street (between Madison and Fifth Avenue) in the heart of midtown Manhattan. The restaurant's name is both a reference to Alta Cucina (the term for highly refined Italian cuisine) and to Northern Italy, from which Alto draws considerable inspiration for its menu.

Bobby Van's Grill at 25 Broad Street brings the steakhouse group's prime beef and American grill menu to the Financial District. The downtown location serves the Wall Street business lunch and dinner crowd with the same quality cuts and professional service found at the midtown locations, alongside lighter options for a quicker meal.

When it opened in May 1883 after fourteen years of work, the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world and the first to be built with steel-wire cables, a span so ambitious that it earned the nickname the eighth wonder of the world. It crosses the East River to join Manhattan and Brooklyn, and its pair of Gothic-arched granite towers remains one of the most recognisable images of New York. The bridge nearly broke the family that built it. The designer, John A. Roebling, die.....

Cantilevered out over the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade is a 1,826-foot pedestrian walkway whose chief attraction is the view: an unbroken panorama of Lower Manhattan, the harbour, the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge spread out across the East River. It is owned by the city's transport department as part of the highway structure rather than designated as a park, though the parks department maintains it. Its existence is the product of a planning fight in t.....

Bubby's at 120 Hudson Street in Tribeca has been setting a standard for American comfort food since 1991. Owner Ron Silver built the restaurant around authentic family recipes from Nebraska, Arkansas, Brooklyn and beyond. The menu features fresh, homemade food prepared from scratch daily, and the bakery - which began as a pie company - remains central to the operation. Seasonal pies are a signature: berry in summer, pumpkin in autumn, pecan in winter and strawberry rhubarb in spring.

Champs Gourmet Deli at 71 Broadway serves the Financial District's breakfast and lunch demand with a full menu of deli sandwiches, salads, wraps, and hot entrees.

This Champs Gourmet Deli location at 70 Exchange Place serves the same deli menu as its Broadway sibling, positioned to capture the lunch traffic from the surrounding Financial District towers. Catering and corporate account services are available.

A 7,100-pound bronze bull, head lowered and muscles tensed as if about to charge, stands on a traffic island on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in Lower Manhattan, where it has become one of the city's most photographed sculptures. Eleven feet tall and sixteen feet long, the work known as Charging Bull is meant to embody aggressive financial optimism, and crowds line up daily to pose with it near the heart of the financial district. Its origin is unusual: the bull was never commissioned. T.....
