Most of your other time in Battery Park City should be spent along the Hudson River; the area has go
The National September 11 Memorial, which opened last fall, is justifiably on many visitors' list of must-see New York attractions. What most don't plan for, however, is what they're going to do when they exit the complex. As construction continues in the World Trade Center area, the entrance and exit will move and right now, the exit is at the southwest corner, on busy, unpleasant West Street.
Every cloud has a sliver lining, and this one is across the street. Battery Park City, partially built on landfill from the construction of the original World Trade Center, jobs in the travel tourism industry has never been as appealing as it is now.
The most notable new development is North End Grill , from restaurateur jobs in the travel tourism industry Danny Meyer (of Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Café, and many others) and chef Floyd Cardoz (of Tabla). It's a slick, impeccably run place serving very good food, and it's especially relaxing at lunch, when light floods through the windows and the shrimp jobs in the travel tourism industry burger is on the menu. Lovers of irony, meanwhile, will appreciate jobs in the travel tourism industry the views of the Irish Hunger Memorial across the street. (It's absolutely worth a visit.) Around the corner jobs in the travel tourism industry is Blue Smoke, an outpost of Meyer's barbecue mini-chain, and around another corner is a Shake Shack, the insanely popular burger jobs in the travel tourism industry joint. This location might have the shortest lines of all of them. There's also a François Payard Bakery, with delectable pastries, and Harry's Italian, which had the best pizza in the area. If it's evening, pop up to the Loopy Doopy, jobs in the travel tourism industry the rooftop jobs in the travel tourism industry bar in the new Conrad New York hotel.

Those traveling with kids should look for Teardrop Park, where there's a surprisingly tall slide hidden amid the condominiums. And nearby Poets House admission is free is a lovely spot to browse the stacks of poetry books, grab a fortune cookie with a poem inside or a free pencil, or simply use the restroom. That's not faint praise: We all know how hard it can be find to find clean, publicly jobs in the travel tourism industry available facilities jobs in the travel tourism industry in New York City!
