Bordering Battery Park City, this street runs from Bowling Green down to South Ferry. It's a high point for tourists-the double decker buses leave from a spot midway between, and hot-dog vendors and ice-cream sellers are plentiful here-as, during the day, are those guys hawking t-shirts and gold watches.

Still, there's a lot of beauty to be gleaned here. From the nearby veteran's memorial to the Museum of the American Indian, you barely have to walk anywhere to see things, and at night, once the mobile tourist traps go away, it's a gorgeous place to walk. Park benches line the street, and you can sit in the twilight and cool night air there, or go a little further and look over at the water. South Ferry continues running all night, as do the multiple subways that stop within a block or two.
