Empezado por javi

"Lower Manhattan (or downtown Manhattan) is the southernmost part of the island of Manhattan, the main island and center of business and government of the City of New York. Lower Manhattan or "downtown" is defined most commonly as the area delineated on the north by 14th Street, on the west by the Hudson River, on the east by the East River, and on the south by New York Harbor (also known as Upper New York Bay). When referring specifically to the lower Manhattan business district and its immediate environs, the northern border is commonly designated by thoroughfares approximately a mile-and-a-half south of 14th Street and a mile north of the island's southern tip: Chambers Street from near the Hudson east to the Brooklyn Bridge entrances and overpass. Two other major arteries are also sometimes identified as the northern border of "lower Manhattan" or less often of "downtown Manhattan": Canal Street, roughly half a mile north of Chambers Street, and 23rd Street, roughly half a mile north of 14th Street...

...The Dutch established the first European settlements in Manhattan, which were located at the lower end of the island.[2] The first fort was built at the Battery to protect New Netherland. In 1771, Bear Market was established along the Hudson shore on land donated by Trinity Church, and replaced by Washington Market in 1813.[3] Washington Market was located between Barclay and Hubert Streets, and from Greenwich to West Street.[4] The area remains one of the few parts of Manhattan where the street grid system is largely irregular. Throughout the early decades of the 1900s, the area experienced a construction boom, with major towers such as 40 Wall Street, the American International Building, Woolworth Building, and 20 Exchange Place being erected."



La encuesta es tuya, así que pon lo que quieras.

En lo que muchos seguramente coincidamos es que los mejores rascacielos de Nueva York, no sólo del Lower, son los de los tres primeros decenios del pasado siglo XX.

En el mapa pone Civic Center porque ahí está el Civic Center al igual que pone Lower Manhattan porque es un mapa del Lower Manhattan.

Y sobre todo:

Quizás tendrías que haber encabezado tu lista como rascacielos del Financial District.

Otra cosa son las útiles indicaciones de muchas guías, en donde desmenuzan todo para ayudar a los turistas y dividen las zonas para que sean abarcables. Es como si en una guía ponen "Plaza Mayor y alrededores" y me discutieses que no está en el Barrio de Sol o en el Distrito Centro.

Insisto, es tu lista y puedes excluir lo que quieras, pero te aseguro que para un neoyorquino el WOOLWORTH BUILDING está en el Lower.

No voy dar mi brazo a torcer por que por un lado se dicen unas cosas y por otros lados otra por eso par que te alegres te voy a poner unas fotos de el que espero que te gusten
