In the wake of the World Trade Center attacks, many downtown venues have been affected--although more venues have been closed due to the current rescue efforts than to permanent structural damages. Sadly, Windows on the World, Top of the World and the other World Trade Center venues were destroyed, and the New York Marriott World Trade Center was irreparably damaged. But many other venues are fine. Here is a status report of various spaces within the hardest hit area.
