And some final tourist tips...
NYC supports over 150 museums, each open to the public. Check your tourist guides or call ahead for specific hours.
The 6,400 miles of sidewalks of NYC mean tired feet, especially to those used to driving everywhere. Sightseeing is not a fashion show - wear comfortable shoes!
You may rent bicycles and skates in and around Central Park. Tourists should not attempt cycling or skating on city streets as it can be quite dangerous. Just ask a bicycle messenger!
The Staten Island Ferry Terminal is next to Battery Park where the boat to the Statue of Liberty docks. The ferry provides a wonderful view of Manhattan and is FREE to ride. Take a picnic lunch.
Always plan an emergency meeting place or message center for your group.
