About the Financial District
The Financial District (FiDi) spans from West Street to the East River sideways and Frankfort Street to State Street from north to south. While the area is famous for being the leading financial center of both the United States and the world, there are other off-the-clock attractions for locals and tourists alike. Visitors to FiDi enjoy its picturesque cobblestone streets, fresh breezes off the water, easy access to public transportation, plus attractions for shopping, dining, history, and culture.
Fun fact: George Washington was inaugurated at Federal Hall on Wall Street on April 30, 1789.
