We will be in NYC in June. Has anyone been here? What did you think?

I could be wrong but I don't think you will be getting many responses for this.

I'm not from NY but my dad is, born and raised in Brooklyn, and his father worked for the phone company and laid phone wire in the twin towers when they were being built (his father has since passed away). When we were planning a visit to his mother last year (who is now retired to Goshen, NY) he warned me not to bring up the subject of 9/11 with his mother or any of the family. While it may be easy for the rest of us to talk about, it is still a huge open wound for them.

Well, I just visited Ground Zero for the first time last week. Just seeing the size and scope of the site was overwhelming. When I saw the entrance to the exhibit, it was just too much to process emotionally in one afternoon for me, so I did not go in.

The "Workshop" referenced in the original post is on West 14th Street near 9th Ave., not near the WTC site. It seems to be mostly a small display of one individual's photography.
