Pick-up in a late-model mini-coach will be at the Day’s Hotel at 790 Eighth Avenue (between 48th and 49th Sts.) at 10:00 AM. From there, your guide will take you to places like:
**Central Park**--where Yoko Ono still maintains Strawberry Fields in honor of her late husband, John Lennon
**Lincoln Center**--where Leonard Bernstein led the New York Philharmonic and the site on which his famous musical, “West Side Story,” was supposed to have taken place
**The Ansonia Hotel**--where “Single White Female” was filmed and notorious bank robber, Willie Sutton, was finally nabbed by the cops!
**The American Museum of Natural History**--where the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world is on display
**The Ardsley apartment building**--where none other than Barbra Streisand maintains a flat—she tried to sell it to Mariah Carey, but the neighbors would have none of it!
**The Cathedral of St. John the Divine**—the largest cathedral in the world!
**General Grant’s Tomb**—Americans have a standard riddle asking who is buried in Grant’s Tomb—and the answer is “No one”! General Grant and his wife, Julia, are ENTOMBED there, but not BURIED!
**The world-famous Apollo Theatre** on West 125th Street, the hub of Harlem **55 West 125th Street**—where President skirt-chaser himself (Bill Clinton) now has an office!
**The African Market on West 116th Street** **Duke Ellington’s statue at the northeast corner of Central Park**—erected to commemorate what would have been his 100th birthday in 1998 **Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ former apartment on Fifth Avenue**
**The unassuming little church where Mrs. Onassis would bring John-John and Caroline to worship—and where John F. Kennedy, Jr.’s untimely funeral was held**
**The Metropolitan Museum of Art**—the largest art museum in the Western Hemisphere!
**Grand Army Plaza**—where you’ll see a striking gilded statue of Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman, the glorious Plaza Hotel and the mother of all toy stores, FAO Schwarz
**Fifth Avenue—Trump Tower, Tiffany, St. Thomas Church (where Tony Blair came to pray right after 9/11)** **Rockefeller Center**—this urban jewel is a classic example of Art Deco (Art Moderne) architecture and is the site of the world-famous ice skating rink, the spectacular Christmas tree and Radio City Music Hall, among other things
**Times Square—it’s everything you imagined—only more! Lights, lights, lights!**
**The Empire State Building**—the tallest building in the world for decades—and still the most memorable symbol of New York City
**Districts like Greenwich Village** (called simply “The Village” by residents), SoHo (NOT named after Soho in London, it means the area “SOuth of HOuston Street”), TriBeCa (the TRiangle BElow CAnal Street—here’s where JFK, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette lived before their plane crashed), Chinatown (you’ll swear you’re in Hong Kong) and Little Italy (fuggedaboudid!)
**The Financial District**—Ground Zero, Wall Street and an inspiring view of the Statue of Liberty **…and more!** Your coach will let you off at 2:00 PM at the Day’s Hotel.
