Post by: llamalord on July 16, 2009, 16:41:57: I definitely recommend Rockefeller Center.

It is within a few feet of the Empire State Building's height, and, in my opinion, even nicer on the inside. Not to mention that you can watch the daily newscast. ;D

Post by: matt5674 on July 18, 2009, 07:47:01: That was what I meant. Freedom Tower Is still under construction, but it will be about as best as the 100 year anniversery of Titanic, when the last White Star Liner, SS Nomadic is completley rebuilt in time for 100 years of Titanic :thumbs:

Title: Re: Going to NYC!
Post by: firestar12 on July 19, 2009, 00:37:09: Hm...if you are going by that then I live in Ireland, Netherlands, Great Britian, and America. I changed it to Irish because I have rich Irish heritage. Anyway, to clear up confusion...
Matt5674, I know that the 'freedom tower' is not nearly complete. I didn't see a need to include that. And yes, other Matt, it IS started. Check wikipedia and search youtube. By the way, it is NOT called the freedom tower anymore, they officially changed it to '1 World Trade Center'. And Capt. Matt, ass proof, here is a pic of the new 1WTC.

Post by: firestar12 on July 19, 2009, 17:45:22: Get it from Amazon or the main page.
Matt, construction on the new complex started in 2005 or 2006. There was no way nothing was there. And why is there footage of the new towers?

At 00:22 you can see the 1 World Trade Center/Freedom tower in the top right corner. Also Matt, I have said many times that I live in America my whole life and am in Vermont right now. ::) :) I change my flag when I feel proud of one particular country.
