Windows On The World: The Restaurant That Saved A City


Listen Later

Join us today as we talk about a topic very close to our hearts, the beautiful, amazing, and spectacularly dramatic restaurant that sat majestically at the very top of the North Tower of the World Trade Center for twenty-five wonderful years, bringing acclaim, love, and much-needed money back into the city. An ambitious infrastructure project, the World Trade Center, and the restaurant that would sit at its highest point would change the landscape and the skyline of New York City for a quarter of a decade, before being tragically destroyed in the attacks on 9/11, which shook our entire country to its core. Let's show a little love to the "Most Spectacular Restaurant On Earth" (--Tom Roston), and introduce some of you for the very first time, to the phenomenon at the top of the Big Apple: Windows On The World.
