About World Trade Center

New York City is known by several other aliases – the Big Apple, the City that Never Sleeps, and the City of Skyscrapers. While some of New York City’s other names require some degree of explanation, its City of Skyscrapers moniker speaks for itself. NYC's skyline is chock full of some of the tallest buildings in the world, from the Empire State Building to the structures that comprise the rebuilt World Trade Center.

In the wake of the tragic September 11th terrorist attacks, thousands of lives were lost and millions more were irreversibly altered. The citizens of New York City were hit the hardest that day. Nevertheless, those who survived the tragedy chose to persevere, commemorate the fallen, and rebuild what was lost. As of this writing, the rebuilt World Trade Center is nearly complete. Structures like the One World Trade Center stand where the Twin Towers once stood, showing that the citizens of New York City will rise from the ashes of any crises that they face with the grace and resolve of a phoenix.

Luggage Storage Near World Trade Center

New York City is called the City that Never Sleeps because there’s always something happening within its borders. Because of this, there’s never a period where New York City isn’t bustling with people. As of 2018, NYC's population has reached the 8.4 million mark. The entire state of New York is one of America’s most frequently visited cities. Suffice it to say that you won’t be the only person, family, or group of travelers who’ll be visiting NYC. It’s also considered taboo in America to bring your luggage to memorials and museums. In fact, many locales at the World Trade Center won’t allow you to enter if you’re carrying around too many things. Bounce can take care of your stuff during your trip to the World Trade Center.
