NYC rocks! Hop on the J or Z train (less than a block away!), situated on Norwood Avenue and Fulton Street; this runs through Brooklyn and will take you all the way to Broad Street (Wall Street): the home of the world's #1 Financial District in downtown Manhattan. There you can visit the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank. This train line has the benefit of being above ground, so you can admire the NYC skyline every day! It also can drop you on the Lower East Side, where you can connect to one of the uptown subway lines, great for those who need to commute around New York City.
