New York Business, New York Stock Exchange & Federal Hall Video-Travel in NYC
This past Sunday, which was a lazy afternoon, I went do to Lower Manhattan in New York and stood at intersection of Broad and Wall Streets, the location of the mecca of capitalism and arguably the business pulse of the world-the New York Stock Exchange. Just across from this New York business icon, is Federal Hall, which was one of the first meeting places for the seat of government in the United States and which is maintained by the US Dept of the Interior.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is one of the backbones of New York business and boasts the Dow Jones Industrial Average, that is, the top companies in the NYSE, whose daily stock movement is a barometer of how stocks may trade for a particular day or session. There is a saying that “when New York City sneezes, the rest of the country catches pneumonia”, which is true as was shown immediately after the events on 9/11. New York receives a large portion of its tax payments from businesses on Wall Street, the employees who work there, eat there and play there, the bonuses and the capital gains taxes. Visiting the New York Stock Exchange, as a tourist or travel destination and followed up by a visit to Federal Hall is a cool way to spend a weekday, especially if you are first time visitor to New York City and would like to see New York business in action.
Additionally, New York is a capital of small business as well and for more information on how to form a small business, you may visit the website of www.businessknowhow.com which features New York business start up information as well as information for all states in the US. They provide help with labor law posters, wage and tax information and OSHA information as well. Those who would like to visit this mainstay location of New York business can take the J train to the last stop, which is Broad St but only Monday thru Friday. On weekends, the J train terminates at Brooklyn Bridge, where you may catch the 4 train to Wall Street and walk a block to Broad and Wall Streets.
This a part of the continuing discussion of New York SEO and how using well known location, in this case an icon of New York business and with search engine optimization and marketing being discussed while physically being at these locations and on video, enhances the SEO process through the use of video optimization.
Here is video of Dallas Plummer talking about New York business outside the New York Stock Exchange and directly across from Federal Hall in Lower Manhattan. One note: In the video, I state that the Federal Reserve bank is a few blocks in the direction towards Water Street. It is actually in the opposite direction up and 2 blocks away, across from Chase Manhattan Plaza.
