The lines have run two and three hours long. Ask the cab to drop you off on Broadway and Murray St.

Emily,

I was there yesterday. My husband and I got there around 10:00am and there was already a 3-4 hour wait. I'm starting to come down with a cold so I didn't think standing out in the cold for that long would be a good idea so we skipped it this time. I would like to go back. Just reading all the letters and seeing the pictures is enough to bring you to tears. If I were you I'd get there between 8-9am so you don't have to wait so long.

In case this helps someone you can take the subway (we took the 4 or 5 line) and got off at the City Hall stop. It's a very short walk from there.

My niece works on Vesey St and has to try to get through the crowds every day to get to work..some people ask her boss and other business owners in the area to say that they work for them,so they can get a closer look.
