Fun tours in NYC offer a wide range of activities across all five boroughs. New York is big and diverse enough to offer a bit of something unique for all tastes. The most popular choices are discussed below, from island hopping to foodie foraging in Brooklyn and walking tours of Greenwich Village.
Because it's part of this huge urban jungle, many visitors never realize that four of five boroughs are on islands. Add a few more islands to the mix and it makes for a great island hopping tour. Manhattan is on the must-visit list, and so is Long island since it has Queens and Brooklyn. Other optional islands that can be added include Staten, Liberty, Ellis, Governors, Rikers and Roosevelt islands.
Approximately half of the U. S. Population's family history in the country begins at the Ellis Island immigration office, which is now a museum. The Statue of Liberty stands tall on Liberty Island. Lady Liberty can also be seen from the Staten Island Ferry. The aerial tram crossing to Roosevelt Island, with the East River below and the Manhattan skyline in the background, may be more exciting than the island.
Foodie fun tours in NYC normally spend a lot of time in Brooklyn. The stalls and street food fare is simply incomparable, what with the famed Coney Island hot dogs and the Red Hook Ball Fields food trucks. Not to mention that Brooklyn also has Williamsburg's dive bars and restaurants. In case anyone is wondering, Coney Island was not listed in the island hopping tour because it is not an island.
Foraging for a specific kind of ethnic food may require bites of the Big Apple beyond Brooklyn. Apart from Chinatown, Manhattan also boasts of historic kosher delis and pizzerias. Astoria in Queens is the place to find Greek cuisine, while Harlem is ground zero for soul food and jazz.
Speaking of ground zero, tourists will get plenty of bang for the buck in Lower Manhattan. Traditional tourist attractions such as ground zero and the Wall Street charging bull in the financial district are no doubt worth a look-see. But the real fun begins in SoHo, stretches past the Meatpacking District, and continues in the West Village, Greenwich Village and perhaps Little Italy. TriBeCa may also be an interesting addition.
Join a walking tour of Greenwich Village or go pizzeria hopping in Little Italy and Nolita. The Meatpacking District is a fascinating place to take a break and watch the crowd flow by. SoHo is kind of an artsy area where visitors can poke around the galleries and check out the historic buildings, if that sounds like fun. TriBeCa is (or was) Robert De Niro's turf and is home to the TriBeCa Film Festival.
There are quite a few other options, from chauffeured limo tours to open top double decker bus rides around the city. Cruise liners can circle around the islands and show people the whole city without any hassle or traffic. Children may enjoy the city's multitude of family-friendly zoos, including two in Central Park and another two in Brooklyn and the Bronx.
These are but some of the choices in terms of fun tours in NYC for visitors. It's quite possible to choose something else entirely, such as a half day tour of Grand Central Terminal, a mini-world all by itself where geeks can go nuts over the giant Apple Store and architecture fans can check out the sweeping Beaux-Arts style. Grand Central can even keep the weird ones happy with ghost hunting tours.
