NYC Things to Do

Located at the northeastern tip of the Lake, stands the Loeb Boathouse that houses the Boathouse Restaurant, a famous icon of Central Park. Overlooking the Lake it is the perfect place to dine on a relaxing afternoon lunch or romantic dinner in the warmer months.

      Greetings,

      I am the owner and operator of Gotham Walking Tours (www.walkingnyctours.com) and would greatly appreciate it if you would take a moment to examine our website and read about all the NYC tours (both regularly-scheduled public “show up” tours and private, customized tours)that might be of interest to your readers. We are currently ranked as #22 of approximately 1,349 attractions on TripAdvisor.com and are constantly
      striving to make our walking tours one of the highlights of our clients’
      visit to NYC.

      We invite all to join us, to hear the stories, and to experience New York
      City up close with a licensed and native NYC tour guide who has been
      researching the history of this extraordinary city for over twenty-five
      years.

      I really enjoy your site and believe it contains a wealth of information about NYC and all that this great city has to offer.

      I would greatly appreciate it if you could list us on your website as a
      resource for those who wish to experience NYC.

      If I can provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate
      to contact me.

      Best regards.

      Lina,

      Thanks so much for visiting & commenting at my site.

      Your tours look fantastic. I’m especially interested in the Jewish Lower East Side Walking Tour. I can pretend I’m Izzie in Crossing Delancy or Fannie Brice on Henry Street. I’m hoping for a trip to NYC next year.

      If you are going to be in New York this holiday season New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday Train Show is a must do! Some details about the Holiday Train Show:

      Experience the magic of New York City dressed to the nines for the holidays. The New York Botanical Garden’s annual Holiday Train Show has become a cherished seasonal tradition for families not just in New York, but across the country. Marvel as G-scale model trains puff along a half-mile of track in and around the 140 landmark buildings constructed entirely of natural materials: nuts, tree bark, fruits, pinecones, and leaves, housed within the warmth of the historic Enid A. Haupt Conservatory.
