POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS

The Financial District is teeming with people during the day because of all the office workers. In the evening (after 6pm) the area feels considerably less populated. The people who live here are a curious mix of Wall Streeters and students (NYU has a few dorms in the area).

SAFETY

In terms of statistics, the Financial District is supposed to be safe. Its demographics also suggest mostly hard-working crowd, not your typical muggers. However, many people report feeling weird walking the empty streets around the southern edge of the neighborhood and let's not forget that "your typical muggers" might just be from Staten Island so be cautious at night around the ferry terminal. But again, overall it's quite safe.

NAME

TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

Of course, you can visit Staten Island from the Staten Island Ferry. Also, this is roughly where you go to the newly reopened Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island from (to be honest, I've never tried that). Check out the statue of a raging bull at Bowling Green (Broadway).
