It’s a refreshing change from the hustle bustle of Manhattan to the relative calm of Hoboken and the views of the skyline are amazing. Visit in the evening for the illuminated view of Manhattan. Take the PATH train or very speedy ferry service.

This is a place that commands silence and reflection, beautifully executed with a view on the WTC and Manhattan. I’ve been to many war memorials in Europe and this monument tragically reminds me about all of them, although the victims here were not soldiers, just ordinary people like you and me.

Walked the Pier in the evening with friends. It was beautiful. Great exercise and quality time spent with friends. Seeing the beautiful NYC skyline from NJ was really nice. First time visiting the pier. Had ice cream from the ice cream truck along Sinatra Dr. I will definitely return.

Saw the Drive by Truckers here, and it is really a gorgeous place. There was a few hundred people there, and it was comfortable and the sound was good. They have a nice selection of drinks, and the staff was friendly. Parking isn't so easy though, so maybe consider Uber.

This place really hits home with the impact that was suffered that day. Just visiting the memorial itself is an experience but the museum goes into great detail. It had all been done with class and the way they show tribute too the people that tragically died that was very respectful, to the extend that when it is someone's birthday they put a while rose in there name on the memorial, a lovely touch that I am sure the family will appreciate. I would definitely recommend visiting and the museum too and not to rush through it, its a lot to take in.
7. Brooklyn Bridge

Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge provides passage between Brooklyn and Manhattan for motorists, trains, bicycles and pedestrians. One of the primary symbols of New York City, it is a marvel of design and provides spectacular views of the city's skyline.

There is nothing like walking across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. It's a must do while in NYC. You get amazing skyline pictures of Manhatten from the start of the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side. I recommend doing this walk on a nice day.

We were so worried of visibility during this late winter spell, especially considering the hefty entrance fee.
Fortunately it was clear enough to have adequate vistas of iconic Manhattan and especially the amazing Empire State Building. Chrysler building views were partially obscured though.
Did not have to wait too long, I think less than 30 minutes to the top. Best views from 3rd floor of viewing deck.
A bit disorganized with the purchasing of the photos but I think worth the package price for the memories.
