Question: Prior to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, did you ever get the chance to visit/work in/go up the WTC towers !?
I did heh!.

i was a tourist though!. but I wanted to know if my memory served me correctly, and that there was a dining/cafetaria thingy (not far from where there was a souvenier shop for tourists, that sold post cards, hats, tee's, key rings, mugs, fridge magnets ) and if this was somewhere at the top or in the middle or was it down at the bottom !?

Still was an amazing experience even If i only went that one time, the view from the windows down onto the manhattan skyline - breathtaking!.

the view from the top using them binoculars was even better too!.

so did u visit/work there at any time !?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes I visited as a tourist once, too!. I was pretty young (I think about 10) but I remember the amazing views!. We have a few photos, too!. I remember we had to wait for ages to go up there and a man with a big bunch of flowers was trying to jump the line because he was supposed to meet someone up the top and was running late!. I've always wondered whether he made it! I remember the souvenir place, too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes I stayed at the Vista Hotel, which was part of the complex!.
In the sub basement, was a small amount of retail outlets, I remember, and an open air place where people gathered!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the restaurant you are talking about was very close to the top!.!.then you had to take stairs i think to get to the top!. my cousin was visiting from the czech republic and we took her there when i was 16 and i had been to the city plenty of times in my life and the strange thing is i would always go to the empire state building or rockafeller plaza or little italy china town museums shows oh you get the idea!.!.!.but i feel like if it wasn't for my cousins visit we would have never went there!.!.!.and i am so glad i did:)Www@QuestionHome@Com
