Guest Activity – BEYOND MANHATTAN TO BROOKLYN WE GO! These days a visit to NY isn’t the same without exploring Brooklyn! It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn’s cheaper and more expansive space. Highlights of this tour will include Brooklyn Heights, The Brooklyn Heights Promenade, DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan bridge Overpass), and Brooklyn Bridge Park. The tour will conclude with lunch at Ignazio’s pizza. Enjoy the highest quality food, excellent customer service and an amazing view of the Brooklyn Bridge.

EVERYTHING TIMES SQUARE, EVERYTHING BROADWAY Over the years, theatre-goers have been flocking to The Great White Way for one reason: to hear a story. Hear these tales, from flops and disasters to the successes and legends! Being a part of “show business,” guides will give you insider info to make you see Broadway like never before! With rarely seen photographs from years of research, you will see Broadway’s past and present merge before your eyes. Journey back in time to 1903 as you will get a rare behind the scenes look at Broadway’s oldest theater: The Hudson. This interior tour offers an exclusive view of the nooks and crannies of this historic building that was restored in 2017 to its original glory after decades of narrowly avoiding demolition. Bask in these stories told in the theatrical silence of an empty Broadway theater, a rare, one-of-a-kind experience to peek behind the curtain on Broadway! Please wear comfortable shoes and dress accordingly to the weather as this will be a walking tour just steps away from the Marriott Marquis. Lunch will follow at the conclusion of the tour.
