I didn't really expect much from this three hour tour around all of NYC, but it actually turned out to be a rather spectacular event.
In short, I was bored out of my mine from where we started on 42nd street all the way down south around Liberty Island, and then up the East River. However, as soon as we passed the Queensboro Bridge on our way into Upper East Manhattan, all and then between Manhattan and the Bronx, it was a really cool trip.
We definitely got to see some parts of NYC that you rarely make the drive over to (in some cases probably because it's wiser not to).
