Spiel ... Merrill Lynch is in the World Financial Center (WFC), a part of Battery Park City. It is located downtown, at the southern tip of Manhattan, between the World Trade Center and the Hudson River. It is on the West side of West St., alongside the Hudson River.
The WFC is a large complex, several blocks long. There are many entrances:
South entrance (ground level): at 225 Liberty St, walk North to the Winter Garden atrium (see below)
North entrance (ground level): at 37 Vessy St, walk South to the Winter Garden atrium (see below)
East entrance (elevated pedestrian bridges over West St.):
Head to the World Trade Center, North Tower
Go up to the plaza level (one floor above street level)
Walk across the "North" bridge over West St, to the Winter Garden atrium (where the Palm trees are)
On the South side of the Winter Garden, at the top of the "Bowl Staircase", is the Merrill Lynch security area.
Merrill Lynch employees -- enter as usual via turnstiles
Visitors -- enter via a small door on your right. You must sign in at the Security desk.
There is a separate door for the Security desk for Merrill Lynch. All visitors MUST go thru the Security entrance.
Note that Merrill Lynch is in both the North and South WFC towers, go for the South tower (WFC 2).
There are two pedestrian bridges across West St. Whichever you take, head for the Winter Garden atrium, then the South tower (WFC 2).
