Charging Bull

Displayed in its current location since 1989, this 7,000-pound bronze sculpture has become a famous symbol of American capitalism.

Another must visit landmark . Almost impossible to get a pic without people in it but still great. Grab it by the balls, legend says you'll come back, i did 6 years before and it worked!! ????

The back of the bull is just as popular of a photo op as the front of the bull ...strange. I don't know the guy in the pic but he just seemed way to happy with bull testicles in his hand.

An iconic landmark that has long symbolized the most well-known and powerful stock exchange market in the world. It's rumoured that touching its 'jewels' will bring you wealth or back to New York!

A trip to New York isn't complete without visiting the Charging Bull. It's just a short stroll from the NYSE but you need to seek it out as it's not in the most obvious spot.

At some point in their lives every freedom-loving American has a duty to make this pilgrimage, and take their turn at fondling the Testicles of Empire.

The 7,000-pound Wall Street Bull was created in optimistic response to the 1987 stock market crash and dropped in front of the New York Stock Exchange overnight in 1989. http://tmout.us/knzkC

Arturo DiModica illicitly placed his 7000 lb. bull statue by the NYSE in 1989. It was impounded by NYPD, but later released and placed where you see it today. Learn more at the MoAF at 48 Wall Street. Read more

Worth the visit if u r around Wall Street.

With tons of people fanatically molesting the bull , not sure if it's worth the pain. You'll end up w/ a group photo w/ you squeezed in the middle, 20 people looking away, and a couple of horns maybe?!

Created by Italian-American artist Arturo Di Modica after Black Monday 1987. Statue is 7500 pounds. Left on Wall St in middle of night as a gift to the city . More info on this statue via our blog. Read more

Try getting on top of it, if there's no cops around and try to really grab the bull by its horns. It does give a certain sense of satisfaction ;)

It's impossible to visit Wall Street area and not visit the Charging Bull. It's a must see!

Landmark you done wanna miss. Go weekdays early to be there before the crowd.

Visit would've been perfect if not for a storm of people that wanted a photo with the Bull . Survival of the fittest.

The bronze sculpture in Bowling Green Park symbolizes financial prosperity and has been a Wall Street icon since it was installed in 1989.

Charging Bull is a sculpture very popular in New York if you visit this place you can go to Freedom Tower because is really near to 3 blocks!

The Main symbol of Wall Street, apart of the stock change building. Very crowded . Come weekdays or late night/early morning if you want a photo

I think best is to go there in the early morning hours. People stand. In line to take a picture with the bull - front or rear

Street art schmeet art . Don’t get me wrong, I like it, but I’m used to it being everywhere, from tags to wheat paste, its so common nowadays that it almost blends into the background. Read more

Famous Wall Street landmark ... Covered with tourists ... But worth a look. Wander the nearby streets for a taste of old New York City .

Italians do it better! Stop at the bull sculpture to take some pics in the heart of Wall Street.

Must see, better at night as a lot of tourists during the day

Tourists love it. Poice barricades now encircle it. The bronze is worn where many touch it.

One of the main things I came to visit. Love the stock market exchange and love the bull .

Surprisingly this iconic sculpture was not commissioned but dumped under the Wall Street Christmas Tree by artist Arturo Di Modica – he wanted to give the city a gift and promote himself. True story. Read more

Today's generation might "occupy" but past activists created art . Artist di Modica created, installed and paid for the Charging Bull at a cost of $360,000 in 1987 to protest the stock market crash

Iconic. Just wish it was roped off a bit so you can get a picture without so many people.

Lucky to get a photo of the bull only!????

Get up close and personal with the icon of Wall Street. <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://hashtagnyu.tumblr.com/post/143117135471/a-guide-to-impressing-your-nyc-visitors-going-way"target="_blank" data-sig="NmvDrXT1N/uK01Kr2FtbmlubV+Q=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://hashtagnyu.tumblr.com/post/143117135471/a-guide-to-impressing-your-nyc-visitors-going-way</a>

It's impossible to get a photo with all the tourists .

Beautiful piece of art and placed at the heart of the financial district.

After 2 years of work in his studio, sculptor Arturo Di Modica completed the 3.5 tons and 18 feet long sculpture in 1989.

Charging Bull is 16 feet long and weighs 7,000 pounds. Di Modica spent $360,000 of his own money to make Charging Bull. The statue is technically on long-term loan to the city .

sophisticated scions of the fsociety revolution decide to slice off its testicles with a buzzsaw. Long live…something.

Can't miss this luxurious spot in the financial district of NYC

It's an endless stream of tourists giggling while they cup a bronze bull by the balls. Up to you to decide whether that's entertaining.

This is the single greatest tourist attraction in New York City .

If you love a crowd of people swarming around something of really no significance, be sure to stop by the Bull .

Get early here because it could gets crowd

One of the most interesting monuments in NY.

Sooo many people trying to take pic with it...

Nicely tucked away. Give him a good rub and explore the rest of the area!

Really cool monument . Is a must go in NY.

Be VERY aggressive if you want a picture, tourists will jump right in front of you with their whole family as if you were invisible! Get your picture and get outta dodge!

Needa queue if you want a pic with the front of Bull but not if you want one with the rear LOL. Can go visit NYSE nearby too !

It's sadly nearly impossible to get a picture of the bull without some tourist in your shot. A symbol of economic power lost in a sea of foreigners.

Get there early as the lineup grows quickly for pictures.

Huge tourist attraction .

Huge Ball, wish I’m lucky in making ????... so they say..
