Question ID: 241986
I would be interesting in finding links to Windows on the World menus,
specifically from the post 1993 renovation of the restaurant(s) after
the first bombing.  Windows on the World sat on top of the north tower
of the World Trade Center, for those reading who don't know, and was a
tradition for me and my family to dine at every time we were doing
touristy stuff in Manhattan, since the '80's.

I would like to have links to their menus, wine lists, etc. if any
exist out on the Web.  Any links to tours of the resturant would also
be appreciated.

Thanks!

Greetings Kbr1045,

I found a menu from the restaurant on the Net:

Here are some reviews of the restaurant:

Wines:
I'm afraid I wasn't able to find a wine list of the restaurant, but
this website may have the reason why:
Windows On The World - In requiem article about the restaurant
http://www.dinersoft.com/windows_on_world.htm
- says 1,400 wines were listed; probably to big to list online

The all-time wine collection of Windows on the World must have been
big enough to need its own book:
