It would awesome to get a real feel for Wall Street outside of the tourist type stuff.
I've got news for you - all the banks have left Wall St (except Deutche, they didn't get the memo). You'll find two big gyms, a BMW dealership, a Ciprianis, a Tiffanys and a Hermes store there. And lots of condos which used to be banks.
No doubt you'll get a great sense of history walking downtown, but there is no real Wall Street anymore.
If you must, go for happy hour on Stone Street.
