World Trade Center — Local services in New York

The new platform is very beautiful, arguably the best in New York City. The stores and restaurants are nice, for sure, but the real centerpiece is the Oculus itself. Santiago Calatrava designed the Oculus to be timeless, and that stands true, without a doubt. It looks like something out of a science fiction novel, truly stunning and completely unique. The way the light filters in is magical, and changes throughout the day. The space itself is massive, it's like stepping into Heaven.

It is both a cathedral and a palace for transportation. Soaring ceilings and countless windows make this a “box of light” which heralds a spirit of celebration for something as simple as a train ride. Pay a visit - but don’t miss out at looking at this architectural wonder as much from the outside, with a 360 degree tour around it as from the inside. You will be marveled as much...
