Look up to the sky on Friday night as the @911memo

Look up to the sky on Friday night as the @911memorial & Museum’s annual Tribute in Light honors those who lost their lives on September 11 and celebrates the unbreakable spirit of New York. The lights will be visible from a 60-mile radius around Lower Manhattan from dusk until dawn.⁣⁣
⁣
In light of the ongoing pandemic, this year’s anniversary carries even more weight. Like 9/11, COVID-19 has cost us thousands of New Yorkers. And like 9/11, the pandemic has significantly altered the fabric of our city and our everyday lives. But in the 19 years since 9/11, Lower Manhattan has remade itself — physically, with the addition of three new World Trade Center towers and a slew of redevelopment and transportation projects and tourist attractions; and in substance, drawing major media and tech startups, attracting a wide array of restaurants and retailers and significantly increasing its residential community. ⁣⁣
⁣
In many ways, we’ll have to rebuild again. But let Friday night’s “Tribute in Light” serve as a reminder that we — as New Yorkers — have the strength to do it, and for the better. ⁣

The Downtown Alliance is highlighting some of our favorite local spots in the web series, “Dine Around Downtown: Cooking At Home” edition.⁣ 🍽
⁣
Hosted by award-winning chef @RoccoDiSpirito, the series features chefs from Lower Manhattan restaurants who cook up signature recipes and share tips for crafting everything from complex gastronomic delights to go-to comfort foods. It’s free to sign up and participate, and any donations go to a good cause — either directly to the restaurant’s employee-relief funds or to a food-security charity of the restaurant’s choice.⁣ ❤
⁣
@templecourtnyc kicks off the first of three new installments on Thursday, September 17, followed by @benares_nyc (October 1) and @casataqueriany (October 15). ⁣

Cultural institutions such as the @museumjewishheritage and the @911memorial & Museum recently announced their preparations for reopenings in Lower Manhattan, and the @seaportmuseum is following suit with the opening of ”Wavertree,” a tall ship built in 1885, at Pier 16.⁣ 🚢⁣

The ship will be open to the public for free 11a–5p on specific dates — September 5, 6, 12, 19 and 26 — which includes access to the ship’s outdoor areas, its main deck and raised rear deck.⁣⁣
