New York attractions: National September 11 Memorial & Museum

Starting this year, the Municipal Art Society of New York will set up its annual Tribute in Light illuminations on the memorial’s grounds. (Since its inception in 2002, it’s been located in a lot adjacent to the WTC site.) The beams, which are switched on from dusk on September 11 until dawn on September 12, mimic the Twin Towers’ structure and act as a visible reminder of New York’s enormous loss in 2001. MAS recommends a number of places to view the Tribute in Light, including Washington Square Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Staten Island’s ferry terminal. Visit mas.org/tributeinlight for the full list.
