I'm very fortunate that business has brought me to the World Trade Center transportation and shopping hub a few times in recent weeks. It is magnificent. It is called the Oculus, designed by Santiago Calatrava, and completed at twice the original (public money) funding at 4 Billion Dollars. You can get both the PATH and the subway in this fantastic creation. Or a good cup of coffee. Or some high end shopping. I highly recommend you get on a subway ( E, R, W, 4, 5, etc) and get more than your $2.75 in viewing pleasure.

You probably made some folks who pushed this project happy. It was very behind schedule and over budget

I took a good picture of the outside.
