Editorial Review for New York Stock Exchange – by Karyn Gladstone
In Short
The New York Stock Exchange opened on March 8, 1817, when a group of brokers adopted a formal constitution of regulations and membership rules. In the original market, stocks were called out and bid upon one at a time, bank and insurance stocks dominating the business. The NYSE opened its permanent headquarters on Broad and Wall streets in 1865. Since September 11, 2001, the Exchange has been indefinitely closed to visitors.

Unfortunately, with so much security these days, all one can see is the exterior of the building. It is one of the most famous sights in New York City, though, and it is close to other several historical buildings. A visit is especially worth during the holidays, when the massive Christmas tree on Broad St. makes the block a more interesting place.
Pros: There is no cost to seeing the exterior of the building, close to several other attractions
Cons: With so much security, no visitors are allowed inside
