The evening is yours to discover
your own favorite restaurant or take in a Broadway Show.
Sunday, May 24
- It's Your Day!
With so many options to
choose from:
No trip to New York City
is complete without visiting the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis
Island Immigration Museum. Take a ferry to Liberty
Island. Enjoy a stroll to view Lady Liberty, more than a monument
- she is a beloved friend, and a living symbol of freedom to
the world. Then spend time on your own at Ellis Island, the
historic gateway to America, where millions of immigrants passed
through between 1892 and 1955.
So Little Time, So Many
Museums!
Sign on for a historic
Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan including Ground Zero.
Hop On! During
your free time you may want to hop on the red double decker
bus with over 50 highlights throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.
You can hop on and hop off and enjoy the sights at your leisure!
(Optional - we'll help make your advance arrangements).
Early Evening Reception
in a private suite at the Roosevelt Hotel hosted by Gene and
Jo Ann Taylor
Monday,
May 25 - A WALK IN THE PARK!
One more walk led by Gene &
Jo Ann Taylor to show you some of the hidden secrets of Central
Park. More than just a green space, but an 843 acre oasis, we’ll
walk along tree lined paths, lakes and open spaces. A favorite
retreat, Central Park plays an essential role in the everyday
lives of New Yorkers for escaping the fast pace of the surrounding
city. When Central Park first opened in the winter of 1859 it
was the first artificially landscaped park in the United States
and now we will enjoy the beauty of this “park for the
people”.
Depart for airport at your convenience.

entering SoHo you will experience the quiet calm of the old
Italian section. As we venture along these charming streets
you will understand how an old neighborhood has survived in
spite of rising rents and gentrification.
During our walk through SoHo you will be introduced to "mom
and pop" eateries and old-fashioned specialty food shops
and sample delicious tastings
of New York Cuisine.
