At lunch time we step inside historic Chelsea Market, not only a bustling food hall and shopping mall, but also the original home of a factory responsible for inventing one of our favorite sandwich cookies, the Oreo! After lunch you’ll enjoy a stroll with your guide up on New York’s High Line, a former elevated railroad line that survived total demolition to become one of the city’s most popular destinations and a place for New Yorkers to escape and enjoy a sliver of nature above the busy streets. We’ll enjoy its curated gardens, wild spaces, and overlooks.
We’ll then head over to the west side of the city to catch the Staten Island Ferry, which will take us to another top NYC attraction, the Statue of Liberty! Back on land, we’ll take a stroll down Wall Street and pay a visit to the Charging Bull of the Financial District, visit the touching tribute memorial to the victims of 911,.
