Jul 12th, 2011 at 12:00PM: Coming up in September, New York's 9/11 Memorial at the site of the former World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan will be open to the public. An iPhone app created by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum looks to be a great preview. Featuring a seven-stop walking tour of the area around the World Trade Center, images related to the events of 9/11 along with an interactive ...A Day of Rebuilding at New York's Ground Zero
Jun 26th, 2011 at 11:00AM:
While in New York, I was thrilled to check out the High Line, a newly expanded elevated park that's captivated city-dwellers. But there's bigger and more meaningful construction happening downtown, at the site of the former World Trade Center-and the soon-to-be home of the new World Trade Center.
With my videographer, Stephen Greenwood, I booked a 17th-floor room at the Millenium Hilton ...VIDEO: Take a stop-motion trip to 1983 New York City
Mar 23rd, 2011 at 10:30AM:
In just under six minutes, you can take a (mostly) stop-motion trip to 1983 New York City in this short film called "N.Y.C. (No York City)" by Rick Liss with music by Laurie Anderson. The video follows a dizzying path through Manhattan, past familiar landmarks like the World Trade Center, the subway, and Central Park (check out the roller skaters!). While the clothes and cars may seem dated, ...
Hotel Review: The World Center Hotel, first hotel to open at Ground Zero
Jun 9th, 2010 at 9:30AM: When I told people where I was going and what I was doing, the same three words continued to make their way into different conversations: redevelop, rebuild and revitalization. I hadn't been to lower Manhattan since before Sept. 11, 2001, and quite frankly I had no plans to return. I remember where I was on 9/11, what I did and what happened next, and I wondered how, in this lifetime, we would ...New York City bargain destination perfect for a 3-day weekend
Dec 30th, 2009 at 10:00AM: New York City may be the most expensive place to live, but if you like to walk; it's a bargain to visit. Arrive by Friday late afternoon, and by Sunday evening you can knock off most of the must see places and eat without spending much money. By the end, you'll know a good bit of what makes this city so grand.

Mar 27th, 2009 at 9:00AM: No more Freedom Tower. The tower being built atop Ground Zero to replace the Twin Towers which fell in the devastating terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, will now be known as One World Trade Center. Steve Sigmund, the spokesperson for the Port Authority (who owns the site), says the name is more marketable. One World Trade Center is the address of the future building. To be fair, "Freedom ...Ground Zero Art Center and Frank Gehry
Mar 29th, 2007 at 8:42AM: A few years back there was a wonderful Frank Gehry exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. As part of the exhibit, I remember looking at models of a proposed cultural arts building that was to be situated near the World Trade Center. In true Gehry style, the building's architecture fit perfectly with the other buildings' designs, including the height of the World Trade Center and the ...Guided WTC Tours
Sep 10th, 2006 at 3:04PM: Here we are on the cusp of the fifth anniversary of 9/11/2001, so I figured I'd post something relevant to that. While you can easily go down to the Ground Zero site (though not tonight, the "Decider" is speaking) and walk around, the view of the hole is actually quite dismal. So most tourists just kind of stand around outside the fence and snap photos of each other, well, standing around. But ...
