Just across from One World Trade Center, you'll find the entrance to Brookfield Place. This massive shopping mall practically marks the very start of the city's impressive Financial District. Built between 1982 and 1988, this complex of buildings is largely made up of business offices, but also includes a shopping mall full of high-end stores and restaurants. Even if you're not in the mood to shop, pop inside for a moment – the lobby is stunning, with a dazzling glass ceiling and huge palm trees right in the middle of it all, plus a gorgeous marble floor. Brookfield Place is a vibrant commercial, cultural and financial center, home to some of the world's most innovative companies. Plus, it's a great place to hang out. Be sure to check it out!
