THE 411
What: One World Observatory
Where: top of One World Trade Center
Location: New York City
Purpose: observation deck, tourist attraction
Floors: 100-102
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
This is a great tourist attraction in New York City. I never got to visit the original World Trade Center before it was destroyed, but I’m glad this is open to once again allow visitors a chance to experience the view.
There are a couple of things to remember… first, expect airport style security. They check everything going in. It is exactly the same security as you would expect at the airport. The only difference — you are not required to take off your shoes, but everything else is the same. Hats, jackets, belts… they are all coming off!
Secondly, if you want to visit the bar or restaurant, you must purchase an observatory ticket. There is no way around this. So, don’t expect to just ride an elevator for a view just to go to the bar — you’re paying for the full experience.
The World Trade Center area is still a construction site. As of this post, there are still massive areas of construction and the main transportation hub for the PATH and subways is still not complete. Expect to find many temporary walkways and partially opened entrances at this time.
Jersey Joe and his friend Jen, ride the ferry from New Jersey to New York City and chat with viewers live in this special rebroadcast.

What: New York Waterways ferry
Where: Paulus Hook, Jersey City, New Jersey to World Financial Center, New York Citu
Cost: $4 per passenger, weekend fare
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
It’s not every city that offers mass transit in the form of a ferry. For a different view of New York City, I recommend taking a ferry. It especially works well on a nice Spring or Summer day. The ride on the water gives passengers a unique view of New York City and the city skyline. The best part is, tickets can be booked at the terminal or via smartphone app that saves a massive amount of time. If you’re looking for a truly locals experience to the city… give a ferry ride a try!

Can you call the next card HIGHER or LOWER for cash? Watch as Jersey Joe and his friends play a round of the classic TV game show Card Sharks! Are the questions from the 70s & 80s the same as today?
I’m surprised they haven’t brought this game show back. The 2001 edition was absolutely awful. They forced both contestants to play off of one row of cards, which meant nothing until you got to the final card.
Still a great game show and if they keep to the original rules — this really should, and probably will, return to TV soon!
