Highlights

Have you ever wanted to visit Coney Island but weren't sure how to get there or what you would find? I spent my childhood riding the famous Cyclone and Wonder Wheel and swimming in the Atlantic Ocean there and loving every minute of it. Let me show you my Brooklyn! We can go on the many exciting rides, walk on the famous Boardwalk and finish up by having Hot Dogs at Nathan's (where they were invented) and have their amazingly delicious fries! Visit Williams Candy store for some authentic Salt Water Taffy! Children will especially enjoy the New York Aquarium and the kiddie rides at Luna Park. On the subway there, you'll have views of the backyards and rooftops of Brooklyn. Bring a towel and a bathing suit and we'll take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean if you'd like!

About New York City

New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.

Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
