Discover Central Park, by bike with this affordable bike rental. The beauty of Central Park’s design is whether you have an hour or a full day, starting at 59th street (Columbus Circle), there are countless attractions like the magical carousel, Alice in Wonderland Sculpture, and Lake (think Stuart Little). The Dairy and Balto statue too and if you have time, stop and play a game at the chess and checker’s house. The famous Bethesda Fountain seen in hundreds of movies, the literary walk with statues of literary giants, and Strawberry Fields are close to one another, and all are just in the lower half of the park and perfectly doable in an hour. Beyond 72nd Street all the way to 110th, there is so much more and with a little more time, you can make the full five-mile circle! In the warm weather enjoy a carousel ride or picnic in Sheep Meadow and in the winter. A spin around the ice-skating rink. We provide a Central Park map so that you can chart your own path in your own time.

Admire some of the most spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor, and Statue of Liberty when you book this cruise. Make your own way to Pier 36, hop aboard your vessel, and take to the water; you can also choose a sunset departure time for added drama. During your excursion, you’ll glide past Lady Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges—and will enjoy marvelous views of the skyline.

Brooklyn is renowned for its vibrant street art scene, and during your next visit to the borough, you won’t just get to spot its open-air artworks—you’ll learn how to make them yourself. Meet your instructor—a local street artist—in the dynamic Bushwick neighborhood, and head to their studio space. Once inside, you’ll learn a wide array of aerosol art techniques before having the chance to create your very own masterpiece.
