I go to school in the Financial District and it's a nice area! There's plenty of restaurants, both fast food and sit down, as well as convince stores. One thing I would change is the closing times of many of the stores in the area, since it is a mainly business area places close pretty early.
I like the financial district because it is the typical fast paced environment New York City is know for during the day, however, quiet and more residential during the night. Not the best night life, but easy access to everywhere in New York City on Fulton Street.
The Financial District is a great place if you are interested in living in proximity to dense and bustling Manhattan without necessarily living in it. Unlike the rest of Manhattan which can be a bit dense and overwhelming FiDi is much more relaxed and spread out. There are less people and less crowded streets. Traffic quiets down significantly after 5pm. Because the island of Manhattan tapers towards the south the land is not as wide and you feel as if you are surrounded by the river on numerous sides. I like that several subway lines converge in the part of the city providing easy and quick access to anywhere else. There is a bit of tourism but nothing bothersome. Attractions in the area are the South Street Seaport, Stone Street restaurants/bars/pubs, Trinity Church, The World Trade Center & Oculus, and Battery Park. Generally I like living there because there is enough business and entertainment to satisfy you and you quickly get to other parts of the city for even better options.
