As an addendum to my recent post about the September 11 Memorial in downtown
Manhattan, the Memorial's website sets forth numerous dates for visiting the memorial in early October. As a security guide advised me at the time of my visit, the Memorial is almost always lightly visited late in the day; most tourists attempt to see it early in the morning, leaving them time for a matinee or evening visit to the theater. Thus, seek a visiting time of around 4pm, and you should have little difficulty in gaining admission.
Please note, as well, that the Visitors Center at 20 Vesey Street (about 8 blocks from the Memorial's entrance), also has a few passes available for persons who appear there around 9am.
