I’ve heard about blue smoke, barbecue right?

Yes. Haven’t had it, but accepted wisdom is that it’s tough to go wrong with Danny Meyer, who also owns Shake Shack—best fast-food burger ever—and a more upscale place in the vicinity, North End Grill. Oh, I have to throw in a mention, if you have any interest in lobster roll—Luke’s Lobster on South William St. is unbelievable, and not terribly expensive. Best lobster bisque (Fridays only) that I’ve ever had.

Skipping Wall St. is not the worst idea, though you probably want to get a pic of the Stock Exchange. Near Luke’s is a small district with a few restaurants, Euro-style closed street, historic buildings in every direction. A couple of blocks south of Wall St., it’s the Stone St. district. Delmonico’s is at the intersection of Beaver, South William, off Hanover Square.
