| Top of the World tells the story of Windows on the World, the legendary restaurant atop the World Trade Center that became both a symbol of New York City’s resurgence in the 1970s and one of the most celebrated restaurants in America. Its story came to a devastating end on September 11, 2001, when the terrorist attacks claimed the lives of all 79 Windows employees working that morning, along with 91 guests.
Through intimate firsthand accounts from the former staff who made Windows on the World extraordinary, Top of the World recreates the magical world that existed 107 stories above Manhattan, where fine dining, hospitality and the American dream converged. Anchored by interviews with acclaimed chef Michael Lomonaco, longtime Cellar Master Kevin Zraly, hostess Nathalie Tolentino, and prep cook Sekou Siby, the film reveals how a restaurant became a gateway to opportunity for generations of immigrants and an enduring symbol of New York City itself. Food writer Ruth Reichl and former WNBC anchor Carol Jenkins bring perspective on Windows and on New York City during the restaurant’s twenty-five-year history.
