As
a prelude, New Yorkled would like to suggest something for those
out there who might not want to attend a memorial, or church service
or concert or anything of the sort. If you're seeking a more solemn
way to spend your September 11th then how about paying
the NYC Fire Museum a visit.
They've got a permanent 911 memorial
and welcomes one and all.
To learn more visit the official
site or visit the New Yorkled
Pages dedicated to this wonderful downtown museum.
| The
Annual September Concert, September 11th

9/11 as an attempt to fill the skies with music that day.

troubled world through music. The September Concert is committed
to bringing people together, reaffirming our desire for peace,
celebrating life and our universal humanity every year on
September 11th.
