Impressive view from the observation deck. Nevertheless I've expected cleaner windows and non reflective glass. The cafe and restaurant didn't meet my expectations at all. Cafe is like a fast food place without any charm. Restaurant doesn't offer any coffee speciality like cappuccino, latte or even espresso nor sweets like a cake. They are giving you the feeling that they want your money only.

We liked being able to point out landmarks to our young granddaughters. I personally couldn't help thinking about the horror that preceded this "Phoenix" . We were wounded on 9/11, but the people of this country got back up proudly! This beautiful building is a testament and memorial to all who lost their lives.

The view from One World was incredible. The 911 memorial was poignant and well done
