of The World Trade Center
For visitors to New York, Top of the World is the perfect place to start. For residents, a
great new place to enjoy the best view of the Big Apple. Whether you are in the
glass-enclosed observatory on the 107th floor, or on the world's highest open-air deck 110
stories high (that is at 1,377 feet above sea level), you have the best seat in New York
for "the city's biggest show". All for about the price of a movie, you'll enjoy
the food, shopping and fun.
The
World Trade Center
.
Situated at Church Street between Liberty and Vesey Streets, the seven building, two tower
World Trade Center complex boasts the largest skyscraper in lower Manhattan. This complex,
constructed between 1966 and 1977, boasts two towers standing 415 and 415
metersrespectively, includes office buildings, an underground shopping concourse, subway
and path train lines and a hotel located between the two towers. On top, there are a
number of private clubs and restaurants offering panoramic views of the city.
"Although it is
inevitable for architects who admire these great monumental buildings of Europe to strive
for the quality most evident in them grandeur, the elements of mysticism and power,
basic to cathedrals and palaces, are also incongruous today, because the buildings we
build for our times are for a totally different purpose."
