Liberty St, Battery Park City

As New York has so many world famous streets, some of the lesser or adjoining road can get lost in the crush and this may be the case for Liberty Street. The street was renamed after the French revolution and although famous for its close proximity to so many other attractions, the street suffered in the 9/11 events and has undergone some recent renovation work. As with anything from that time, the emotional scars are all too real and although Ground Zero is the main focal point, it is easy to see that you can get caught up in the emotion at this point too.

Another good street to catch a glimpse of Ground Zero, Liberty Street is located in Battery Park on the southern tip of Manhattan. This is a good place from which to begin your trek into Battery Park. The Ground Zero Memorial is on the street, and well as a loop near the North Cove, where you can catch wonderful views of the Hudson and the of the city. The World Financial City is also nearby. I enjoyed this spot for personal reflection and rest after a long trek through the city. Ideally, I think it would be a good spot to end your day of sightseeing through the rest of lower Manhattan.
