Just got back from a trip to New York. I went to visit the 9/11 Memorial which is a beautiful and powerful place (I found myself not ready to visit the museum). While I was there I decided to visit the top of One World Trade Center, 101 floors up. The tower as a whole is 1,776 feet tall with the spire, making it the tallest building in the western hemisphere and the sixth tallest in the world (although the observation deck of the Willis (Sears) Tower is about 100 feet higher up than the one at World Trade). The view is unlike any other. Truly spectacular. I highly suggest it to anyone visiting the city.
While you're at it check out The Oculus, the pure white marble 4 billion dollar train station across the street...it's other wordly.
