If you look beyond the throngs of suits and tourists, you’ll find hidden pearls of art, culture, and damn good coffee embedded in the often-overlooked underbelly of the Financial District. Satisfy any craving by grabbing lunch at one of the eager-to-serve pizzerias, diners, bakeries, sushi shops, or halal carts, abuzz with the midday rush. Top off the day with a drink at one of the many character-filled bars nestled in the boozy nightlife of FiDi.
In the Financial District's stressful, tourist-strewn and sometimes polluted environment, The Wall Street Bath & Spa offers refuge in the style of an old world, European-style bathhouse. Open to both men and women, the facilities include a pool, various steam rooms (and a cold room!), tanning and light aerobics. If you're a relaxation aficionado and can embrace doing so in a swimsuit, then this spa is the place for you. Pick from an array of spa services--and spa delicacies from the restaurant--because you can't go for a schvitz without a knosh!
