    Default One World Trade Center

    Hello, gang. Who's been to the Memorial and/or the Observatory? I can ride @ 35,000 feet but the deck here freaks me out. I had a rough time on VIP VAB tour years ago (glass bottom elevator) and forget the Space Needle unless facing the wall. Not sure when that phobia got really bad but it wasn't too bad except VAB. I doubt I'll waste the $32 or the time to venture upward.
    We'll be in Long Island this week then taking train to Penn station. Any pointers/tips? I haven't been in the city for years (used to live near Macy's) but my apt view down to Twin Towers was not quite the same. I've been to Windows on the World so I have very different memories now. Our last visit to Ground Zero is indelible. We just want to visit the memorial and say our "peace".

    My steak legacy started with Sparks in the 80's--there was still a visible blood stain of the mob hit on Paul Castellano, et al, right there on the sidewalk--UGH. We went a few weeks after for my January market...I still remember my dress, my big 80's hair and the real fur coat I wore...OLDEN DAYS! (a la Studio 54)
    I'm not sure if we'll stay in the city since we booked our commuter hotel for 2 nts. Right now, we're in and out for the day. Any current lunch recommendations near the Center?

    Have only been to the memorial not the top of the new world trade. Wolfgangs is my go to steakhouse. The owner is a former head waiter at the infamous Peter Luger. As for lunch, if you like Mexican, I would suggest Rosa Mexicano. Make sure you get their tableside made guacamole. Their is a location near union square. There are so many places to choose from as far as lunch places. Another gem if you want brunch is Clinton st baking co. Love their huevos rancheros.

    Thanks all. ISP--thanks for the Rosa Mexicana recommendation. We would really like that. I don't think we'll stay in the city so lunch is the best idea. NY has some of the greatest restaurants! My nephew lives in SpaHa (worked for Central Park for years) so he just might have some ideas, too.
    Right now the goal is the Memorial. I have a feeling it will be very emotionally taxing.
