The views from the Freedom Tower were wonderful. It turned out to be a clear day with great viability. As a New Yorker, who worked across the street from the Twin Towers and had friends who perished in the attack, it took me all this time to bring myself to go. I am very thankful that I did. The Memorial was very impressive and important for future generations.

The early entrance to the Edge is a very good decision if you want to have space for your photos, and the memorial has a strong meaning which needs the corresponding respect to be able to observe it. HEADOUT is the best ally for tickets. I always found the tickets even if the official websites were sold out.

This was our first trip to NYC and our first Broadway show. I'm so sorry I waited this long. What a wonderful experience. I was surprised at the intimacy of the venue, we were very close to the stage but didn't break the bank on the tickets. The performance was awesome and I look forward with great anticipation to our next visit and show.
