I am thinking of a visit to Liberty and Ellis Island this Thurs. Thought maybe would be less crowded during the week. I am checking weather too, if it rains....? Also going to visit Trinity Church and St. Pauls. Although I have not been to this part of Manhattan before, I am a history buff so I am familiar with the area%26#39;s history. What are some must-see sites in the Financial District, Battery Park and Bowling Green on your lists?

This is the Museum of the American Indian. It%26#39;s located in the old Customs House at the foot of Broadway.
