Shop until you drop
Westfield shops and dining are open all week long. Whether your teen wants to go to the Apple Store or Sephora or the little ones (and big ones) need a sweet treat at Sugarfina, there’s lots of shopping to be done in The Oculus!
Eating and drinking
The Polar Club isn’t the only place to dine at The Oculus. There’s something for everyone, from multiple notable coffee spots to Lady M Confections and chocolate shops for those of us with a sweet tooth. Head to Eataly and Gansevoort Market for specific and unique goods.
You can also dine and drink in the clouds at the bar and restaurant on the 101st floor of One World Observatory next door!
2. One World Observatory
One World Observatory features panoramic views from the highest point in NYC. With 360-degree views, over 100 stories from street level. It’s unlike any dining experience we’ve ever had!
It’s also an educational experience of a landmark and historical space with deep roots and significance to the city. Tour guides offer educational shows and are on standby to share information and history!
You can also take a Ground Zero tour, which includes the World Trade Center Museum and more.
