Go > Downloads


If that doesn't work it's quite possible you deleted that folder. Not a problem, you can simply create another one.


File > New Folder


Name it Downloads, then drag it on top of your Home folder (house icon). If the Finder complains that folder already exists, then you found it. Drag it back into the Sidebar.
