The Plan
- Morning: 9/11 Memorial & Museum (unhurried).
- Lunch: Oculus or a nearby deli; hydrate and reset.
- Early Afternoon: OWO (aim for 14:30–16:00 on clear days).
- Late Afternoon: Battery Park harbor walk + Staten Island Ferry (free skyline views).
Timing Tweaks
- If clouds promise drama, shift OWO toward sunset.
- If haze builds, move OWO to night and enjoy the grid.
Tip: Leave buffer for lines; build the day around the light.
