Wall Street is the name of a narrow thoroughfare in lower Manhattan running east from Broadway downhill to the East River.
The name of the street derives from the fact that during the 17th century, it formed the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement where the Dutch had constructed a crude wall of timber and earthwork in 1652.
The wall was dismantled by the British in 1699.

In the mid-1990s, soon after Donald J. Trump bought the towering 40 Wall Street, he was spending time with “a great French fashion designer,” who was unaware of the Donald’s purchase.
While Trump previously ensured the 70-story 40 Wall Street has the legal ability to convert to residential condominiums, he now has no plans to do so.
Oddly enough, that’s because 40 Wall could remain one of the few remaining office properties along Wall Street, thus driving up its value even more.

"Wall Street", then, should be served up piping hot to the innocent with a dollop of caution: as one reviewer noted, what Stone had intended as a bloody criticism of greed gone rampant quickly became a full-bodied recruiting video for the investment banking industry.
And what a recruiting video it is: Stone perfected his quick cuts and 'wall of information' with "Wall Street", proving his mastery of the new MTV-era of rich, lush, rapidly moving images and an editing style that wouldn't have been out of place in a music video.
Often imitated, never surpassed, "Wall Street" is a stylish, intoxicating, stunning embodiment of an era when anybody could carve his way to the very top of American society by ruthless ambition and sheer determination; it was true when it was made, and it is possibly even more true today.
