We use
the word "workshop" because it is interactive by nature. You
will be able pick up and hold certain items to get a
greater understanding of what took place during the 9/11
Recovery. The museum also features lifelike 3-D
Installations that place viewers right into the "hole"
at Ground Zero.
The Ground Zero Museum Workshop is the only museum of
its kind in New York. It is a beautiful place for tourists,
family members, and locals alike. You will not see images
like these anywhere else in the world. Each item has an
eyewitness story or personal account by your tour guides,
all of whom participated in the Recovery.
Then
.take
a quick train ride to enjoy the quiet and elegant ambiance
of Giovanni's Atrium. Experience Old World
Style at this classic supper-club as you taste a variety of
lavishly served samples.
To begin, you'll be escorted on a 20 to 30 minute, exclusive
behind the scenes tour of areas of the restaurant
normally off-limits to other guests. From there you'll

demonstration.
