New York City Theatre Trip - 4 Days
Day 1
Depart early in the morning and arrive at your NYC hotel in the middle of Manhattan in late afternoon/early evening. We want you to experience Manhattan at its best, so we have arranged for you to stay right in the heart of the city!
After checking in, we will have a welcome/orientation/safety session with our guide.
Next, we’ll go on a walking tour of Midtown which will include Times Square, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, NBC Studios and much more.

Since September 11, this experience will be even more meaningful, especially after viewing Ground Zero.
