What to do and see in Financial District, New York (NY): The Best Nature & Parks
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

The fountains/falls are beautiful and the survivor tree was lovely to see. 2 countries had put beautiful wreaths at the tree as it had been UN week in the city. This was a lovely touch. The park it self is lovely. Part of a very busy and emotional day.

WHAT THEHEEBEE SAYS ABOUT HUDSON RIVER GREENWAY I stayed at Newyork for a week in February - 2019. I would say that I was blessed to have my hotel at a walking distance from Hudson River Waterfront Greenway. It was my daily ritual to walk from Pier 40 to Battery Park and back. I used to tease myself that daily evening I walk so much for my daily date with the Lady Liberty. I used to walk and then reach Battery Park and spend some time watching all the wonders of mother nature. Hudson River Waterfront Greenway is that amazing place where one can spend that precious 'me time' with one's own self and with the mother nature. The walkway is constructed very nicely with many options to sit, jog, play, cycle and grab something to eat. One can spend time here watching the river, boats, joggers, cyclists, small children having fun and the adorable pets who enjoy the time with their masters. The walkway is beautiful without any obstacles. Parks are enjoyable. The playgrounds are well maintained. The adjoining restaurants offer good food. The best is the amazing view it gives of New Jersey both during the day and at night. Signing Off Hiral Amodia (TheHeeBee)

Here on a sunny Christmas Eve and quite warm as well, beautiful blue sky and a fabulous Park to walk around and look at the Statue of Liberty in the distance and to see the skyscrapers of the financial district with Wall Street just above the Park.

Colonial gentlemen used to "bowl" here, at New York City's oldest park, paying one peppercorn per year for the privilege.

Small green that I am sure looks amazing in spring and also looks good in winter. Near to the Wall Street Bull.

The park includes, on one end, Hope Garden - a memorial to AIDS victims - and on another, the ferry that'll take you to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, not to mention a number of other memorials and monuments scattered in between.
