What's Within Walking Distance of 17 John Street?
Most of Lower Manhattan's landmarks are within a 15-minute walk of 17 John Street, including Wall Street, Stone Street, the 9/11 Memorial, One World Trade, the South Street Seaport, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Battery Park.
17 John Street sits in the middle of the Financial District, which is one of the more compact parts of Manhattan, so you can reach most of the sights on foot in well under 20 minutes.
Here's roughly how far each one is:
- Wall Street — about two blocks south, a 3 to 4 minute walk.
- Stone Street — the pedestrian-only restaurant block, about 5 minutes south.
- 9/11 Memorial & One World Trade Center — about 10 minutes west, up Fulton Street.
- South Street Seaport — about 8 to 10 minutes east toward the water.
- Brooklyn Bridge (Manhattan pedestrian entrance) — about 10 minutes north.
- Battery Park — about 15 minutes south at the tip of the island.
- Staten Island Ferry terminal — about 15 minutes south; the ride is free both ways and passes the Statue of Liberty.
Because everything clusters this tightly, you can string several of these together in an afternoon without ever taking the subway. If you'd rather have a full plan for the day, we've mapped out a walking route that connects them in order.
