NYC 2 hour tour by car - best route suggestions (Jan 2010)
flying into new york tomorrow, with daughter in wheelchair.. hiring a lincoln town car with driver for sightseeing and wanting to cover as much as poss in the 2 hr time.. if we dont cover most of it we may repeat and do a 2 hour trip the next day..as it will be the easiest way to get her around..her boyfriend has never been to new york so they want to do the main sites.. any route suggestions??
they are going to do staten island ferry, central park carriage and top of the rock.. so on 2 of these they will end the trip.. and then taxi back to hotel..
any suggested routes.. was thinking of breaking it up in a sort of north trip then south trip..we are in crowne plaza hotel broadway...
questions...how long is the return trip to staten island, how long to allow at the top of the rock, and how long is a carriage ride..any idea of taxi fare from times square to ferry..(in case its better to incorporate it in the car hire..
we will do museums if she is up to it r if we have time seperately..if we can only pick one which would you choose..
booked for a show one night..hoping to do marriot marquis buffet the next night (does it revolve or just the restaurant??) and can you book buffet??
heres hoping we get there.. is weather okay?? we are in florida and its.. the coldest in 10 years!!!
they want to see central park, rockerfella centre, 5th avenue, (we can do times sq from hotel) empire state building..view..(cant queue) grand central station, battery park, statue of liberty (again cant queue..so having to do ferry)..dont know whether wall street or ground zero will have anything to see?? any suggestions welcome..Thanks Gwen
