World Trade Center site (Ground Zero)
The World Trade Center dominated lower Manhattan. The record-breaking complex occupied 16 acres, and its 12 million square feet of rentable office space housed more than 350 firms and organizations. About 50,000 people worked in its precincts, and some 70,000 others (tourists and businesspeople) visited each day. The vast complex included, in addition to two 110-story towers -- one of which awarded visitors with breathtaking views from the Top of the World observation deck, more than 1,350 feet in the air -- five additional buildings (including a Marriott hotel), a plaza the size of four football fields, rich with outdoor sculpture, a vast underground shopping mall with retailers running the gamut from Radio Shack to Coach, and a full slate of restaurants, including the spectacular Windows on the World, the city's ultimate special-occasion restaurant.Then the first plane hit the north tower, Tower 1, at 8:45am on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. By 10:30am, it was all gone, along with nearly 3,000 innocent victims.A viewing wall on the Church Street side of the now barren site was erected; on that "Wall of Heroes" are the names of those who lost their lives that day along with the history of the site, including photos of the construction of the World Trade Center in the late 1960s and how, after it opened in 1972, it changed the New York skyline and downtown. A walk along the Wall of Heroes remains a painfully moving experience.After much discussion, designer Daniel Libeskind's Freedom Tower proposal was chosen to be built eventually on the former WTC site. Also, in an open competition that received 5,000 entries from over 63 nations and 49 states, a design for a memorial commemorating the tragic events of 9/11 was chosen. The winner, titled Reflecting Absence, is two large voids, with pools cascading 30 feet into footprints of the Twin Towers, and the names of the victims listed around the pools. But it will be years before either the Tower or the Memorial will be unveiled.Additionally, the gates of Trinity Church will continue to serve as an impromptu memorial, brimming with tokens of remembrance and blessing left by visitors from around the world.
Wall Street & the New York Stock Exchange
Wall Street - it's an iconic name, and the world's prime hub for bulls and bears everywhere. This narrow 18th-century lane (you'll be surprised at how little it is) is appropriately monumental, lined with neoclassical towers that reach as far skyward as the dreams and greed of investors who built it into the world's most famous financial market.At the heart of the action is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the world's largest securities trader, where billions change hands. The NYSE came into being in 1792, when merchants met daily under a nearby buttonwood tree to try and pass off to each other the U.S. bonds that had been sold to fund the Revolutionary War. By 1903, they were trading stocks of publicly held companies in this Corinthian-columned beaux arts "temple" designed by George Post. About 3,000 companies are now listed on the exchange, trading nearly 314 billion shares valued at about $16 trillion. Unfortunately, the NYSE is no longer open to the public for tours.
Asia Society
The Asia Society was founded in 1956 by John D. Rockefeller III with the goal of increasing understanding between Americans and Asians through art exhibits, lectures, films, performances, and international conferences. The society is a leader in presenting contemporary Asian and Asian-American art. After a $30 million renovation that doubled the exhibition space, the society's headquarters is bigger, smarter, and better than ever. Never has so much of the core collection, which comprises Rockefeller's Pan-Asian acquisitions dating from 2000 B.C. to the 19th century, been on display before. Well-curated temporary exhibits run the gamut from The New Way of Tea, exploring Japan's elaborate tea ceremony, to Through Afghan Eyes: A Culture in Conflict, 1987-1995, a study in photographs and video. Additionally, the mammoth calendar of events ranges from film screenings to arts lectures to discussion panels featuring experts in pan-Asian and global politics, business, and more; call or check the website for a current schedule.
WJ Hotel
This is one of the few affordable hotels situated in the heart of my favorite Manhattan neighborhood for dining, Hell's Kitchen. Anyone who stayed here when the WJ was the Washington Jefferson won't recognize the joint after a recent renovation. The lobby has tripled in size and taken on a warm and welcoming ambience, with a friendly, snappily attired staff and more than a dash of designer style. Snazzy red-carpeted halls lead to rooms that are small -- don't say I didn't warn you -- but very attractively outfitted in a palette of soft grays. Nice touches include platform beds with generous cushioned headboards and fluffy goose-down comforters. The gorgeous limestone-and-slate bathrooms are stylish and relatively spacious, although some have showers only. Score 1 of the 18 king rooms if you can; they're roomy and boast a pullout love seat as well as a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. The Japanese restaurant in the hotel is just a sample of some of the different ethnic cuisines you will find in the neighborhood.
Red Roof Inn
Manhattan's first, and only, Red Roof Inn offers welcome relief from Midtown's high-priced hotel scene. The hotel occupies a former office building that was gutted and laid out fresh, allowing for more spacious rooms and bathrooms than you'll usually find in this price category. The high-ceilinged lobby feels smarter than most in this price range, and elevators are quiet and efficient. What's more, in-room amenities are better than most competitors,' and furnishings are fresh, brand-new, and comfortable. The location -- on a bright, bustling block lined with nice hotels and affordable Korean restaurants, just a stone's throw from the Empire State Building and Herald Square -- is excellent. It's usually easy to snag a room for less than $150 if you book well in advance; be sure to compare the rates offered by Apple Core Hotel's reservation line (the management company) and those quoted on Red Roof's national reservation line and website, as they can vary significantly. A complimentary continental breakfast adds to the good value.
Murray Hill Inn
Housed in a renovated five-story walk-up in a pleasant and quiet residential neighborhood, the Murray Hill Inn is shoestring basic -- but there's no arguing with its cleanliness, which is key when judging accommodations in this price range. Rooms are tiny and outfitted with not much more than either one or two beds with motel-standard bedspread and furnishings, a wall rack, a phone, and a small TV; most rooms with shared bathroom also have private sinks (request one when booking). These Euro-style rooms share the in-hall bathrooms that are new and spotless. Some of the doubles have an alcove that can accommodate a third traveler on a cot if you're on an extra-tight budget. Rooms with private bathrooms are definitely the nicest; they're spacious, with new bathrooms and dataports on the telephones. Most also have pullout sofas that can accommodate an extra traveler or two. Don't expect much in terms of facilities beyond a pleasant (if tiny) lobby, plus a plain downstairs sitting area with a vending machine, an ATM, and a luggage-storage area. Services are kept to a bare minimum to keep costs down, but the staff is personable.
