This is a very beautiful Memorial to commemorate the 9/11 tragedy. It was presented to the people of America from the people of Russia. I had previously seen very little about the sculpture other than a few photographs, nothing in the media or glossy brochures.
As a sculpture it is easy to make an interpretation, it is a single enormous, poignant teardrop hanging between two very tall pillars. Its simplicity is its beauty. Paving stones throughout the extremely small park are engraved with messages, family names, memorials and names, this is a beautiful place.
Sadly this Memorial has been sited in the back of beyond. It has been plonked right next to the cruise ship terminal, overshadowed by warehouses and on a bleak promontory jutting into the Hudson River. It's not an easy place to get to without a car, GPS doesn't recognise the address and only those determined to find it actually get to see it.
But if you do make the effort you'll see the reward for yourselves. Please go and see it.

On October 1,2017 Boro President Jim Otto dedicated the First Responders Memorial adjacent to Post Cards. Post Cards is the Memorial for all Staten Islanders that perished on 9/11. The First Responders Memorial is for Sraten Island First Responders that have perished due to 9/11 related diseases.
It is very peaceful and scerene offering magnificent views of MY harbor and the City.

I come here often to take photos of Manhattan and the 9-11 memorial. The park has a nice paved path along the waterfront with great views of Ellis Island and the Statue of liberty. There is also a historic rail station here, which is where you can buy tickets for the Statue of liberty ferry.

This place was huge! We spent 6 hours shopping and probably saw a quarter of what was in the center. There's some brilliant outlets offering great deals that makes it well worth a trip. Many people (us included) brought a suitcase and started filling it to save us carting our many many shopping bags around. The centre is spacious with a large food court and lots of variety.

Reviewed By NewYorkerluvsKeyWest - New York City
This ballpark sits on perhaps the most valuable real estate on Staten Island. The view is to die for, the facilities sufficient, the food prices astronomical, as are those at most sports venues, but the crowds continue to remain small.
It's understandable that Mayor Giuliani, a devout Yankees fan, pushed through this stadium during the late 1990s, but why here? Too much stadium and not enough attendance means not much tax revenue, while NYers paid for the place.
So, either get the attendance up to that at other venues, or call it a day. Worth the trip, but not many people come. Try it, you'll love the place but hate the empty bleachers.

We visited the Tear Drop Memorial in New Jersey...it is a bit difficult to find (thank Waze app!) It is a beautiful memorial. We visited it right after the concert bombing in Manchester UK- so pogniant. Such a beautiful sculpture and nice gift from Russia after 911. It is a nice view of the New York skyline from an area I had never seen before with the Statue of Liberty in the foreground.

This place really hits home with the impact that was suffered that day. Just visiting the memorial itself is an experience but the museum goes into great detail. It had all been done with class and the way they show tribute too the people that tragically died that was very respectful, to the extend that when it is someone's birthday they put a while rose in there name on the memorial, a lovely touch that I am sure the family will appreciate. I would definitely recommend visiting and the museum too and not to rush through it, its a lot to take in.
