Broadway Between Vesey St and Park Pl

Across from City Hall Park, these sun-drenched blocks are less crowded when compared to the neighbor on the other side. While Park Row is filled with J&R storefronts, and tourists clamoring to get to the Brooklyn Bridge, this little bit of Broadway is quieter (though not by much).

Perhaps most notable here is the 57-story Woolworth Building, which is really a sight to behold. The stone detailing is really spectacular, and even from ground-level, there's a tremendous sense of scale. However, not even a grand building such as this is immune from the current economy – several of it's storefronts are empty.

Something I found interesting here, was the names of the streets being embedded in the sidewalk on the corners. I can't say I've ever encountered that before.
