WOW! You are missing a terrific city!
And so much history. "The first time I went there I was working on the New York Stock Exchange for a week. I walked a block away to Trinity Church which I knew from my Revolutionary War books. I walked up the stairs and noticed the graveyard at the church ... I buimbled back down the stairs and looked at the first gravestone. I nearly feel over. It was ALEXANDER HAMILTON!!!
Wall Street is right in the middle of American history ... the whole city is. George Washington's favorite church is still there right by Wall Street and was a temporary hospital during 9/11.
It is simply awesome.
