World Trade Center, New York City
О достопримечательности
The ground where the World Trade Center stood? is now a haunting large construction site.? All very ordinary except for? some evidence of building and renovation.
The iron cross that was pulled out of the wreckage? now stands? next to St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church on Barclay Street and Church Street, the oldest Catholic parish in the country.
The real memorial is across the street at St. Paul's Chapel.? This little place of worship has become the? real caretaker of the memories and heartaching shrines? to the victims, all? lovingly placed here by their families.? ? ?
Another resource for the public is the Tribute Center on Liberty Street, along the southern border of the WTC site. ? Survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks volunteer and lead walking tours of the area, sharing their personal experiences. Next door is the FDNY Ladder and Engine Company 10, the firehouse closest to the WTC, which lost six firefighters.
Learn about the latest construction updates from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, including a construction street map, and the Downtown Alliance.

How to get there:
?
Subway:
?
NOTE: The Cortlandt Street station on the R, W lines and the Cortlandt Street station on the #1 line, WHICH RUN UNDER THE? WTC,? are CLOSED INDEFINITELY pending renovation and rehabilitation.
Many subway lines travel through this area, so you have many options.
The two main subway hubs near the WTC site are
Chambers Street-World Trade Center-Park Place (A, C, E, #2, #3 lines)
Fulton Street-Broadway Nassau (A, C, J, M, #2, #3, #4, #5 lines)
These are both large stations with the different lines connected by hallways, ramps and stairs. Because they were all built over time by competing subway systems, which used to be private companies until the 1950s,? there are? different names at different platforms for the same station.
?
Chambers Street-World Trade Center-Park Place (A, C, E, #2, #3 lines)
?
Closest: The E train to the last stop. ? World Trade Center-Chambers Street
Take the E train downtown to the last stop named - conveniently - World Trade Center. Ride in the very FRONT of the train and exit in the same direction the train is going. The exit inside the WTC site is currently closed for renovation, so use the exit at VESEY STREET. This will take you directly beside the WTC site.
YOU MUST DISEMBARK THE 'E' TRAIN AT WORLD TRADE CENTER, or else you will head back uptown. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION to the stations and to the train conductor announcements. Every day, many tourists do not realize this is the last stop, despite signs, announcements and everyone else leaving the trains.
?
Next closest: The A, C trains to Chambers Street.
This is the same station as World Trade Center on the E, but just a different platform. The front of this train lines up to the back of the E train.
If you coming from midtown, ride in the front of the train (from Brooklyn, ride the back), and you can use the Park Place exit, and walk two blocks south, towards the construction site. Or, you can walk down the hallway in the station underground to the Vesey Street exit, described above.
?
Same station, different name: The #2 or #3 to Park Place
This is the same station as World Trade Center on the E, and Chambers Street on the A, C, but just a different platform.
If you are coming from midtown, ride in the back of the train, (from Brooklyn, ride the front) and exit at Park Place.? Or, you can walk down the hallway in the station underground to the Vesey Street exit, described above.

?
Fulton Street-Broadway Nassau (A, C, J, M, Z, #2, #3, #4, and #5 lines)
?
Every line that stops at any of the four stations that make up this complex ("Fulton Street" and Broadway for the 4 and 5; "Fulton Street" and Nassau for the J and Z; "Fulton Street" and William for the 2 and 3, and "Broadway - Nassau" and Fulton Streeet for the A and C) can be accessed from any entrance to any portion of the complex.
?
That being said, though, the access is not necessarily easy or simple to figure out (which is one reason there is so much construction going on there: they are trying to simplify it.)
?
Closest: A, C to Broadway-Nassau
Exit this line at Fulton and Church Streets, and you will be right in front of St. Paul's Chapel, the Milenium Hilton Hotel, and directly across the street from the WTC site.
?
Next: The #4, or #5 to Fulton Street
This will lead you to exit on Fulton Street and Broadway, about one street away from the WTC site. You'll be in the middle of the car-free lunchtime Fulton Street shopping area. Watch your step!! There is a lot of construction going on, as noted above. Please patronize the businesses on Fulton Street, since the construction is deterring shoppers and tourists.
?
Not the rap artist: The J and Z to Fulton Street
This will lead you to exit on Fulton Street and Nassau Street, two streets parallel from the WTC site.
?
Farthest:? the #? 2 or # 3 to Fulton Street
This will lead you to the Williams Street exit. This exit is closest to the South Street Seaport.
?
Again, keep in mind that, if the #2 or #3 is most convenient for you, you can always walk through the hallways underground to Church Street, or walk above ground for 3 minutes to the WTC site.? Even if you take the "wrong" train, you'll end up at the same place, so no worries!
? City Hall - R and W linesEven though the Cortlandt Street station on these two lines is closed, you can still get to the WTC easily if you find yourselves on on the R or W. NOTE: the N line does NOT stop here.Take any exit (there are only two) and you'll be on Broadway and Barclay Street, right alongside City Hall and City Hall Park, and across the street from the Woolworth Buildling.? Put City Hall and the park behind you and walk south. At Vesey Street, you'll encounter the front of St. Paul's Chapel on your right (Many tourists enter through the graveyard in the back, which faces the WTC.) Walk to the back of the church and you'll be at the WTC site on Church Street.? ? ?
