As we circled the jam-packed block trying to find the hotel&#8217;s garage, I took the first photo in this series from the car &#8211; we were right next to the enormous construction zone at ground zero.<\/p>\n<p>Our room on the 31st floor of the hotel had an absolutely jaw-droppingly staggering view of ground zero and the new 9\/11 Memorial, which we toured the following morning. The 9\/11 Memorial consists of 30-foot waterfalls set in the foot prints of the north and south towers, with the names of 9\/11 victims engraved in panels all the way around. The waterfalls created a great deal of white-noise, which allowed each visitor the chance for peaceful reflection in the middle of a massive construction site.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-wrapper\"><!-- filter-class --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-container\"><style>.relpost-block-single-image, .relpost-post-image { margin-bottom: 10px; }<\/style><h4>random related posts:<\/h4><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><!-- relpost-block-container --><div class=\"relpost-block-container relpost-block-column-layout\" style=\"--relposth-columns: 5;--relposth-columns_t: 4; --relposth-columns_m: 4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2012\/07\/19\/gallery-810\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/related-posts-thumbnails\/img\/default.png\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Gallery 810<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">I finally finished a painting that I've been worki...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">July 19, 2012<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2012\/04\/29\/wall-street\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/related-posts-thumbnails\/img\/default.png\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Wall Street<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">After touring Ground Zero, we walked through Lower...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">April 29, 2012<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2007\/12\/26\/5-hours-nyc\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ngg_featured\/DSCN3158-150x150.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">5 hours in NYC<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">On the day after Christmas, I took the train down ...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">December 26, 2007<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><!-- close relpost-block-container --><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><\/div><!-- close filter class --><\/div><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- Developer mode initialization; Version: ;4.3.3Relation: both; All categories: 1;Found 3 posts;Basic sizes;Got sizes 100x100;Post-thumbnails enabled in theme;Post has no thumbnail;Getting image from post body;No image was found;Found wrong formatted image: ;Image URL: ;Image is empty or no file.
