Within this 843 acre park, we will get a glimpse at how special this backyard to the City’s rich, famous, and everyman really is.

07:15pm: A little hungry? We will catch the subway at 66th St. and head for the Lullabies of Broadway to catch a bite and walk the lighted streets of Times Square.
07:30pm: We will then eat like New Yorkers! Fast and on the go! One of my favorite eats in the city is B. Frites, a delicious Belgian Fry eatery, that serves your choice of dipping sauce with your choice of hot chocolate or fresh squeezed lemonade! Yum Yum! (food not included)
8:00pm: Refreshed and ready to go, we will take off down to the most famous Square in the world. The lights, sights, and smells will overwhelm you!
