Cool place where you can go and take pictures of the statue of liberty and get the ferry to Ellis Island. Also few meters away you can take selfies with a nice "bull" yes a bull.

Beautiful park with ample seating areas in a busy part of the financial district by the bull off Broadway.

Interesting to know that this is the oldest park in NY. It was used by native Americans to gather for council meetings. The Native American museum is right in front of the park.

Bowling Green is a small public park, that is locate in the South Ferry of Manhattan and at the end of Broadway.It's the oldest park in the city and is one of the great place to visit if you are tourism in NYC.

Here you can find the famous Charging Bull, and the rumor and myth says that if you grab the bull grains will give you a lot of success in the economic sphere. And that is why you will find a lots of tourists taking photos grabbing the bull balls.

Beside of the bull you can find a lot of food truck, my favorite one was las arepas de queso. Also the subway pass very closed, making very convenient, to go uptown.

This is a great location to be a tourist or see tourist in NYC.

The oldest public park in New York City, Bowling Green is a must-stop for anyone traveling downtown. Surrounded by huge buildings (both old and new), the feeling of Old New York really shines through. Look closely at the tops of the cast-iron fence posts (installed in 1771), and you will still see saw marks from American troops following the Revolutionary War. Each of the main posts were topped with some type of decorative British/royal object, and following the war, these offensive reminders were cut off by the Americans.
