Edge is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, with a one-of-a-kind design. It's suspended in mid-air, giving you the feeling of floating in the sky with 360-defree views you can't get anywhere else.
Recently built from the ground up, Hudson Yards on Manhattan's West Side is a triumph of culture, commerce and cuisine.
After welcoming more than 12 million immigrants to our shores, Ellis Island is now a poetic symbol of the American Dream.
Chelsea Market was constructed in the 1890s and was originally the site of the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) factory complex where the Oreo cookie was invented and produced. Chelsea Market is now a world-class food hall, shopping mall, office building and television production facility located in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City.

Governors Island is a 172 acre island in the heart of New York Harbor. It's only 800 yards from Lower Manhattan, and even closer to Brooklyn.
Dumbo's name is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and the span gives the creatively oriented neighborhood much of its character. Trendy Dumbo's cobblestone streets and converted Brooklyn warehouse buildings are the backdrop for independent boutiques, high-end restaurants and trendy cafes.
South of 14th Street, Lower Manhattan is comprised of diverse areas such as artsy Greenwich Village, hip Tribeca, vibrant Chinatown, and the buzzing Financial District. It’s home to the Whitney Museum of American Art, along with One World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

This underground museum is an amazing and solemn accounting of the events of 9/11/2001. Obtaining tickets online in advance and skipping the ticket line for timed entry is recommended. The museum location is conveniently located adjacent to the Oculus terminal and also near other subway lines. Give yourselves at least three hours to fully take in all the museum offers and leave time to visit the above-ground Memorial before or after. Recommend a tour guide, audio guide or printed/internet info to understand some of the exhibits and the Memorial. The 9/11 Museum is ok for chlldren and there are exhibits addressing children's mental trauma, expressing their feelings, and about discussing these difficult topics with them. Be prepared for many questions.
Jose was awesome! Loved all the music, as well. Great views and they took professional pics of us, too!
My tour was cancelled due to the 4th of July Parade, so I need to request a refund. I was not informed of the cancellation until we arrived at the pier.
The information given by the host during the tour was top notch. He made the experience well worth it. If you are short on time this tour really delivers a lot.
Be on time, they leave pretty promptly. Great tour, nice people. We would definitely visit again when we’re in town.
The boat cruise was a relaxing way to see a lot of NY (and a few NJ) landmarks. The boat was very clean and staff was helpful.
Really strange set up and odd people with very limited customer service skills. Felt like we were being tricked into the trip. Ultimately had to request a refund before the shuttle bus took us to the boat, which was apparently not leaving for 90 minutes after we bought the ticket! Got the official boat that’s run by the parks authority for 50% less cost.
When exiting the Battery Park subway stop, you are hounded by guys wearing vests that say "official", but this is all a scam. We wanted to go to the Liberty Island, and the guy told me that they stop there. I felt something was off, but still went ahead with the purchase. After buying the tickets, the man walked us to the bus, which I thought was very odd. Luckily, that bus was full so we waited for the next one. At that point, I started googling the company and saw of the negative reviews. Also on the ticket, it states that they do not stop at Liberty or Ellis Island. I went back to the guy and asked for a refund and then he got really upset and told me that his machine couldn't refund us, which I knew was a lie. I went through my credit card company and successfully got my money back. Advice to others, do not even engage with these people. They are all con artists who are great talkers, very aggressive, and will lie to you (there is a lot of ongoing construction at Battery Park and they will tell you the park is closed - all lies!). The only official company that will take you to Liberty/Ellis Island where you can get off is Statue City Cruises. Buy your tickets online or go to the Castle Clinton National Monument inside Battery Park (looks like a fort). Again avoid any person near the subway station trying to sell ferry tickets!!!
Great tour . Darius the tour guide was informative and entertaining! Five stars I would recommend when visiting NY city.
