Wall Street - Inside?

I%26#39;ll be in NYC end of october. As I%26#39;m working as a broker in Germany I%26#39;d love to see the Trading Floor @ the Wallstreet from inside.





Is it still closed or are there any chances to go inside?

A couple of years ago, on my first trip to NY, I wanted to do the same as Alha3 as I work for the financial regulator in the UK. I booked a Big Apple Greeter and on my booking form I mentioned that I wanted to see the NY Stock Exchange from the inside, and although it wasn%26#39;t possible, B.A.G. allocated a greeter who was an ex-banker who was very knowledgeable about the financial district.





Big Apple Greeter hasn%26#39;t been mentioned for a while - they%26#39;re a fantastic organisation, and it%26#39;s all for free!!
