For the mid-town, see
Appreciated to internet, for trading without going to NYC never ever.
I guess money circulation in stock market might be doubled after appearance of internet.
You should go to NYC. You should walk Wall St (its only like 4 city blocks). You should see the NYSE and the NY FED. You should also see Times Square. It's an experience that's truly unique. Don't go as a trader. Go as a tourist.
Personally I went to NYC before many times, like liberty statue or Penn Station.
However, back then before starting trading, no chance to stop in Wall St at all.
I wouldn't go to NYC just to see Wall Street and the NYSE, unless you get a special tour or something.
