      I’ll definitely be shopping at Zara. Century 21, no doubt, will do better than ever, with the new WTC towers opening, the millions of new tourists and burgeoning residential, but there is room for everybody.

    The Fireworks were part of the Super Bowl festivities. There was also a concert on Liberty Island in Jersey that night.
