Main Downtown Manhattan Map 1:12,000

The STREETWISE® Downtown Manhattan Map provides an up close view of the lower portion of Manhattan. The home of Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange and the center of Manhattan’s financial life, Downtown Manhattan is also home to City Hall, Police Headquarters, several state and federal court houses and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Tribeca, the artsy TRIangle BElow CAnal, has high end restaurants and neighborhood taverns. It’s a real neighborhood where you’ll find the well off and those who are still hanging on to cheap lofts they first moved into decades ago. A world class film festival that takes place each spring features an outdoor drive-in. Watching a great film outside at the edge of the Hudson is worth a trip in itself.

The South Street Seaport area of piers 16 and 17 offers dining, shopping and a maritime museum that brings you back to when New York was a major port. You can board several of the historic vessels that are part of the fleet owned by the Seaport Museum, including the Peking, one of the largest sailing vessels ever built. A venture on the water of a different nature can be had by taking the Staten Island Ferry. The 25 minute ride gives you a breathtaking view of Manhattan Harbor, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Best of all...it’s free!

Battery Park City is a quiet residential neighborhood with a beautiful waterfront esplanade. Next door is Battery Park, location for the Castle Clinton National Monument. A precursor to Ellis Island, this is where you purchase tickets for the ferry to the Statue of Liberty.

Also in Battery Park is the Fritz Koenig sculpture The Sphere, which once stood on the plaza at the World Trade Center. Damaged, but not destroyed, it stands as a memorial to the events of September 11, 2001. The site of the World Trade Center is indicated on the map as well as the positions of two viewing areas.

This map is highly detailed with major buildings, sites, government addresses, hotels, subway stops and ferry terminals clearly drawn and color coded. The index list all streets, Government and education sites, hotels, parks & plazas, places of interest, post offices and prominent office buildings. If lower NYC is your destination, than the STREETWISE® Downtown Manhattan Map is what you need.
