Lonely Planet review

Although Wall Street is the widely recognised symbol for US capitalism, the world's best-known stock exchange (NYSE) is actually right here on Broad Street. Before it closed to the public due to stepped-up security measures, more than 700,000 visitors a year passed behind the portentous Romanesque facade to see where about a billion shares change hands daily.

Outside, dozens of brokers dressed in colour-coordinated trading jackets pop out for quick breaks; it's often more entertaining than within.
