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.

Great experience; highly recommend going to the fighter jet full motion g-force simulators inside the hangar deck of the USS Intrepid. Also, very nice access to the concorde, you can walk right below it and go inside if you book a tour at the box office.

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.
