2. One World Trade Center

Standing well above its skyscraping neighbors, One World Trade Center is a building that is easily identifiable from New Jersey and from most parts of the boroughs surrounding Manhattan.

Located in a thriving part of Brooklyn, the arena provides a big-concert or big-game feeling without leaving the city.
