New 9/11 Neighborhood

These days, Lower Manhattan has nearly 9 million visitors of the city’s nearly 50 million a year. This 24/7 new neighborhood has everything from shopping to restaurants and other attractions not to mention the new museum at ground zero that will open on the 9/11 10th anniversary. This new neighborhood also has 18 hotels with over 4,000 rooms. Before the attacks, there were only six hotels in the area. The museum will take visitors 70 feet down to what was known as the pit. St. Paul’s Chapel, the place where firefighters, volunteers and police sought refuge while cleaning up ground zero, is also open to visitors. This Episcopal church was built in 1766. Now, it houses a collection of uniform patches paying tribute to the volunteers from around the world who helped during the tragedy. The Lower Manhattan area also has popular museums great for the entire family, such as the National Museum of the American Indian, New York Police Museum, the Museum of Jewish Heritage and Skyscrapper Museum.

There’s so much more going on, especially as we get closer to the anniversary of 9/11. For a great flight to New York City, contact your private aviation company Sky Limo Air Charter. You’ll have your very own private jet and plenty of privacy and legroom. Expect gourmet food on board and help with setting up hotel reservations.
