Why chosen: Modeled after a 17th century Italian palazzo, this is one of NYC’s most beautiful banks, by partners who worked together at McKim, Mead, and White. They also designed many of Manhattan’s most impressive banks, including the Federal Reserve, in the Financial District, and the Bowery Bank on 42nd St. Both the interior and exterior of this bank are landmarked, and worthy of a visit.
