Here’s what sets us apart:
Whether you're a tourist visiting the 9/11 Memorial or a Financial District local taking a break, Alta is the dispensary near Ground Zero that always delivers calm, clean, curated energy.
Just a few blocks south of Alta, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum honors the lives lost in the 2001 and 1993 attacks through a powerful collection of architecture, reflection, and remembrance.
Centered around two massive reflecting pools built on the footprints of the Twin Towers, the 9/11 Memorial is a moving tribute to resilience. The plaza surrounding the pools is filled with nearly 400 swamp white oak trees, offering visitors peaceful shade and quiet paths. Each victim’s name is etched into bronze panels, making every step through the space a deeply personal encounter with history.
Inside the museum, visitors will find exhibitions that explore the events of the day, the lives affected, and the stories of courage and community that followed. Displays include recovered artifacts, oral histories, timelines, and memorial art pieces that offer context and emotional grounding.
