National September 11 Memorial Museum
The completion of this 11,000-square-foot institution documenting and honoring the victims of the 1993 and 2001 World Trade Center attacks is the final step in Ground Zero’s transformation. Architectural remnants of the Twin Towers, including the “survivors’ stairs” (which served as an escape for evacuees and was the only aboveground structure still standing on the WTC site after the attacks), will be included in the exhibit. Victims’ families will receive free admission. 1 Albany St at Greenwich St (212-312-8800, 911memorial.org). Opens spring 2014.
We’re very excited to duck into these New York attractions, some of which are opening as early as November. The future promises big developments in Prospect Park and on Governors Island, as well as newb spots like Brooklyn Night Bazaar’s year-round home and Rough Trade’s first U.S. shop.
