Broad Street (J, Z)

This stop brings you right to the heart of FiDi: the New York Stock Exchange!

Since 9/11 it hasn’t been accessible to the public, but tourists love taking photos outside the building.

Across from it are stores like Tiffany’s and Hermes, all right outside the subway station - but shockingly, even these brands are on the lower end of the price point for shopping off this stop.

You can almost picture a finance bro making it big, paying respects to the NYSE, and then hitting up Uverly next door, just to flex the win.

Though the area is generally a tourist zoo, this stop does bring you to an exclusive, invite-only members club: Cipriani Wall Street.

But, let’s be real. If you’re in the area to go to the Cipriani, you’re probably skipping the subway in favor of a ride from your personal chauffeur.

If you’re more on the tourist or normal-person level, chances are you’ll poke your head around the stock exchange for a lovely view of Trinity Church, which you can enter easily from the Wall Street 45 stop the next block over.

Or, you’ll stroll down to Stone St, between Coenties Alley and William St, for a rowdy food and drink fest.

Note: This station is smushed in the Wall Street subway convergence zone that includes Rector St RW, Rector St 1, Wall Street 45, and Bowling Green 45. In general, this is an architecturally interesting area to walk around in, especially if you love looking up at tall buildings.

I spy a green subway station bulb … this one might be the hardest I spy on all of Project 472.

View of Trinity Church from the station. I, personally, lol at the Equinox flags disrupting the view.

Stone St during the day. It can get packed and rowdy happy hour onwards.
