Oculus

After a decade of construction, you can now visit Oculus, the new World Trade Center transportation hub and architectural gem (the structure is supposed to look like a bird in flight). The entrance is now open on the street level at the corner of Church and Vesey Street. Oculus was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and costed $3.9 billion (originally budgeted at $2 billion). While in the neighborhood,  grab a bite at the newly opened Eataly, located on the second floor of 4 World Trade Center (101 Liberty St).
