at the Pentagon, as well as the six people killed in the World Trade Center bombing in February 1993. The
Memorial's twin reflecting pools are each nearly an acre in size and feature the largest manmade waterfalls in
the North America. The pools sit within the footprints where the Twin Towers once stood. Architect Michael Arad
and landscape architect Peter Walker created the Memorial design selected from a global design competition
that included more than 5,200 entries from 63 nations. The names of every person who died in the 2001 and
1993 attacks are inscribed into bronze panels edging the Memorial pools, a powerful reminder of the largest loss
of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil and the greatest single loss of rescue personnel in
American history. The long-awaited 9/11 Memorial Museum is now open. The 9/11 Memorial has welcomed
millions of visitors since its debut, and the below-ground museum complements this solemn place of reflection.
Guests can experience artifacts and stories honoring survivors, first-responders, and those who lost their lives in

11:00AM GREENWICH VILLAGE AND SOHO Phone: 212-608-6918

Greenwich Village, NYC's neighborhood of artists, is the best place to go for bohemian fares. Whether you want
to chow down on sushi or Italian grub at the best Greenwich Village restaurants or stroll through Washington
Square Park (one of the best NYC parks!), this is the place to be. Located on the west side of Lower Manhattan,
the Village also has NYU, Bleecker Street, and one of the best comedy clubs. SOHO (the area south of Houston
Street on Broadway) is a far cry from the hardscrabble manufacturing zone that once earned the derisive
nickname Hell's Hundred Acres. But don't write off Soho as a mere urban shopping mall; though many of the art
galleries that made Soho into New York's contemporary-art hot spot in the 1970s and -80s have decamped to
Chelsea and the Lower East Side, some excellent art spaces remain.

From the book written by Tina Fey and produced by Lorne Michaels, Stuart Thompson, Sonia Friedman, and

and above all, a human being. Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared
her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to
the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the
charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard
way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
