Seen & Heard: See the World Trade Center Observatory for Free

••• State senator Daniel Squadron’s office called to say that this Tuesday’s full meeting of Community Board 1 will be at the One World Observatory inside 1 World Trade Center—which means you can get inside for free. Waiting to hear about what time and whether it’s an RSVP situation. UPDATE from Squadron’s office: “Senator Squadron requested CB1 be allowed to have a public meeting in the observatory at 1WTC, and Legends (operator) agreed for the CB’s January meeting next Tuesday at 6 p.m. Members of the public will sign in at security desk and be allowed up as space permits. There is room for approx 125 people including board members and electeds/staff, but the board does not anticipate space problems. Entrance is on West near Vesey, and photo ID will be required. Attendees will have to verify that they live in CB1.”

Both performances are free and open to the public.” (It’s dance, if all of that was Greek to you.)
