9/11 Memorial
"The Memorial Museum is committed to offering useful educational programs and materials about the events of September 11, 2001"
Aside from the educational, as of Sept 2011, the public can now view and reflect upon the pools and names (and wealth of history in the museum) - for some somber, perhaps spiritual, remembrances of that day which altered history. Tickets are required and may be reserved via this site. (Donations optional.)
In June 2015 the Freedom Tower Observation Deck opened to the public, promising history lessons, panoramic views, and the world's fastest elevator - to the top of the tallest building in the hemisphere. (See site for ticket details)

Beacon Theater

[As of 2018, their tickets page is gone and become part of the larger page of event information for all of the Madison Square Garden group, of which this venerable theater has now become.]

CBS Local
This is the webage featuring the local CBS news and programming - in this case local is New York, the flagship station with some interesting news stories of its own, and as I discovered when I checked out this page (uri scrolling along the bottom of local news at 11) - there are some great 'what's happening now' pages for locals and also tourists. Best Healthy Wraps caught my attention. Location, location. This page offers a great window into daily life in New York. (1/13)
