We had a great time and did get to see the highlights of the NYC sights. Our tour guide was Jim.... great sense of humor and very knowledgeable of NY and it's history. Patrick, the boat guide also made the trip very enjoyable. It was well worth the $120 for a day's trip.

This little find will give you wind in your hair as you ride on the top deck checking out the bridges, The Freedom Tower, the old Domino Sugar Factory and more breathtaking views.
I took a ride from Dumbo to 34 St just for the fun of it. Today I went from SouthSt Seaport to Ikea and totally loved how the ship stopped to let us click the camera at the Statue of Liberty. This is the best way to beat...
