There was lots to see in downtown. The financial district seemed less crowded with tourists. The streets were filled with business men and women running for a quick bite to eat. They seemed to tolerate the few bumbling tourists around them. The weather was perfect so many were eating outside on the steps of Federal Hall, or around the stock exchange. We enjoyed walking through Federal Hall and exploring history there. There is terrifficly old and beautiful architecture downtown to enjoy. The lunchtime ambience was a fun time to visit.
Gorgeous shot of Federal Hall ceiling.

Trinity church where Alexander Hamilton is buried. Very old church and very old graveyard. A few fun spots around the church to sit and eat lunch.
