This memorial is absolutely beautiful, yet a sobering reminder of the events of 9/11. Liberty State Park opens at 6:00 am so visiting the memorial before the sun rises offers a quiet, peaceful visit. This is a must visit for anyone in the area. The park itself also offers great views of Lower Manhattan.

Had an event at Hudson House. Stayed overnight Hyatt House. Was worried when we walked into Lobby of old bldg. However, hotel checkin was Terrace Level and was lovely. Room immaculate, view of water front outstanding. Complimentary breakfast delicious. Rooftop bar that we didn’t get to enjoy cause of rain but is open year round. Will definitely stay again. Downtown adorable and safe.

No longer a rail terminal, nor a sought-out historic site, this station and its neighbouring mass of tracks now play the gatehouse to the State Cruises ferries, departing for Ellis Island and Liberty Island daily. However, the building is gorgeous inside, and if you learn anything from the visit to Ellis island, you learn that anyone entering the country would first pass through immigration, then board a ferry for THIS station, to then embark on one of the many trains departing here. THIS is where all of those people took the first trip of their new life, and that's something to thin about. Stand in front of the tracks, where departure signs list stations and destinations, and soak in that feeling for a minute. THEN go and take your ferry.

Great landmark. Glad they diddent destroy this old landmark. Best viewed from the water/boat. Or from manhattan. Nice when they have fireworks here.

Katyn Forrest is an emotional remembrance for the Polish people. Deeply moving, and the symbolism of the bayonet to the back is not missed.
