    Review of: The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum
    Very moving experience
    The memorial pools are a great way to reflect and remember that tragic day 20 years ago and remember those that lost there lives.

    The museum was an incredible experience, the sounds of answering machines with recordings of those from the towers and planes that left voice messages was very sad.

    Personally the most rememberable parts of the museum for me were
    - listening and watching the clip of the First FDNY Fire Chief arriving on scene putting his rescue plan into action and giving dispatchers his report on what He could see and witnessed was harrowing.

    - the wedding ring of a victims who survived the 1993 bombings but Sadly lost her life on 9/11

    - FDNY Engine 6 and ladder 3 I found hard to see, as a firefighter myself you try to Imagine what it was like riding to the world trade centre that day and what was going through there minds on that morning.

    Review of: Empire State Building
    Nice
    It was well organized, and not crowded when we went. We had reservations over 2 months. It would be lovely to have a "bad weather policy" because it was rainy and foggy, so we wasted our money.

    Get the sunset entry!
    Me and my partner went up the rock on the sunset entry and what an amazing time we had! Fantastic views all around the top, with a mixture of indoor and outdoor viewing points! Another must have on New York!

    Review of: Brooklyn Bridge
    An item marked off my Bucket list!
    Had to walk a mile to get to the entrance of the walkway to walk across the bridge, but it was so worth it!! The fog had set in so all I could see was the bridge. The skyline had been wiped out of sight. It was quite an experience and I was able to mark an item off my Bucket list.

    Review of: One World Observatory
    Breathtaking
    The emotion was unexpected. The structure itself is breathtaking. We missed the floor view but did have lunch in the small dining room. I would 100% recommend taking the time to visit.

    Review of: Grand Central Terminal
    So gorgeous
    It's hard to believe that this building is there, amongst the really tall modern skyscrapers. Such an amazing structure with intricate work inside

    Review of: Rockefeller Center
    So fun!
    We went to Rockefeller Center on a Friday night and roller skated to the 70's. Everyone was dressed the part and the music and lights were amazing!

    Review of: Radio City Music Hall
    Olivia Rodrigo concert in a beautiful location
    Never been to RCMH before. I loved it. The inside of the building was a iconic and beautiful as the outside. Went in April to see Olivia Rodrigo there and what a show!

    Review of: Bryant Park
    Small park with big ambiance
    Bryant Park offers guests both shaded bench and chair/table seating as well as in full sun on the main lawn. Both offer restful views for the strolling public. The park is also adjacent to the main public library which often has varied art or other collections to view and enjoy. Great places to visit often and unwind.
