Jersey Joe checks out the observation deck, One World Observatory on top of One World Trade Center in New York City.
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 checks out these hilarious, but rejected flavors of wine.
Wine, an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grapes has been around for more than 9,000 years. The earliest known discovery was in China, where thousands of pottery jars were uncovered. Wine can be made from a number of fruits including apple and peach, with grapes being the most popular.
What do those lines on plastic Solo cups mean? Are they for measuring alcohol, measuring cooking ingredients, or just a design? Jersey Joe checks out why these cups have become so popular.
Solo cups were first introduced in 1936 in a paper version. The company was sold to the Dart Corporation and now sells more than $2.4 billion annually. What’s your favorite color, red or blue? Red is the clear selling winner!
THE 411
Name: Solo Cups
What: disposable plastic drinking glasses for parties and picnics
First sold: 1936
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
I always have a supply of these around. You never know when you will need them for an instant party!
Jersey Joe and his friends gather at a local restaurant to sample a Moscow Mule. How this adult beverage became popular on the East Coast, before traveling to the West Coast, and back!
THE 411
Name: Moscow Mule
What: alcoholic adult beverage
Ingredients: ginger beer, vodka, lime juice
Traditionally served in: copper cup
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
It’s another one of those drinks that was popular in the past and is making a comeback. Craft cocktails are now all the rage, so more drinks like this will be added to bar menus. It’s interesting how this became a fad in New York City, then went west, only to be mostly forgotten in the East.
I still think it would be better frozen, though…
And remember… drink responsibility! Sorry kids, 21 and over – please!
