Ground Zero
by martin_nl
Should this be a tip or not. I think it should be. It's not the fondest of memories, but a memory that everyone should experience. Everyone remembers 9/11, where they were what they were doing and whether to belive what they saw on tv or not. Even though it's already more than 5 years ago since the planes flew into the towers the WTC site is still pretty empty. There are many plans as to what to do with the site. I think it should just be an empty hole like it is now. Make it a place of memory. To memorise this awful event in present day history.
Standing at the place I felt exactly as I felt 5 years ago. Overwhelmed and not being able to do anything about this situation. Very emotional indeed. Next to the viewing platform, on Liberty Street, you will find the Tribute WTC 9/11. Here a story is told from person to person. People who survived, people who were left behind and fire fighters etc. They all tell the same story from a different perspective. There are lots of photo's, sound fragments and written words. In the basement you can read letters left by the visitors. This is probably the most emotional of the tribute....
Check out the website of Tribute WTC 9/11.
Diversity
by roamer61
One of the best things about New York City is its Diversity. It has various ethnic areas such as China -Town an Little Italy. And there is also diversity in its people. NYC is a major melting pot with folks from around the world. NYC is also the artistic capital of the United States. Here there are more museums then in any other part of the country. A delight to the conneissuer.

New York is a big city. So you need more than one week to know all the interesting places that it has.

One of the highlights of our stay in New York was certainly the walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. The view at the NEW York skyline is spectacular from the bridge and from Brooklyn alike.
Have a drink at the chic River Cafe, almost under the bridge and if you are as lucky as we were, enjoy one of the most memorable sunsets!
