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.
