Brooklyn Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

If you want to run over the Brooklyn Bridge, then I recommend the early morning hours. Since you have the bridge almost to yourself. Since you are awake early due to the time difference anyway, this is not a problem.

One World Trade Center

Highlight • Monument

One World Trade Center is located on Ground Zero - the same area where the September 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers took place. The building was originally called the Freedom Tower, but was later renamed to its current name for marketing reasons.
It is the tallest building in the western world (541 meters). Exactly, the building is 541.3 meters high, which corresponds to the equivalent of 1776 feet. This number is symbolic of the United States Declaration of Independence, which was signed in 1776.

View of the Brooklyn Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

No, the Brooklyn Bridge wasn't built by a woman, but Emily Warren Roebling played a crucial and indispensable role in the project's completion. When her husband, Chief Engineer Washington Roebling, was unable to work due to illness, Emily took over day-to-day construction supervision, acquired the necessary skills, and acted as a liaison between the construction site and her husband. She was the "political force" and the "eyes and ears" for the bridge, thus enabling the successful completion of the structure.
