I had a seven+ hour layover at JFK and the last thing I wanted to do was hunker down in a lounge with overpriced cocktails just before a transAtlantic flight. I had no intention of trampling up and down the hella long terminals selling overpriced handbags, perfume, and alcohol either. After a quick Google search and some useful train information from the locals, I found myself barreling down the subway tracks into the city, on a mission with some real purpose– to visit Ground Zero and the Memorials dedicated to the victims. Visiting Ground Zero in New York City has been on my bucket list for years.
