New York needs no introduction. You’ve seen the soaring skyscrapers and sparkling lights of Times Square illuminate your TV screen a thousand times before, but now’s your chance to experience The Big Apple for yourself. Make the most of your New York-minute with the buffet of activities on offer: jump aboard a harbour cruise, ogle the sights from the One World Tower and get underneath the city’s skin with your Metro Pass. Life drawing class? You got it. Pizza party at 3am? No dramas. Get a good night’s sleep before you arrive. You’re going to need it.

ITINERARY

Day 1:New York City, NY
You've seen it in the movies; you've read about all the icons; but nothing compares to actually experiencing New York City for yourself. Take a minute and prep yourself for the totally awesome adventure you're about to embark on. Tonight, meet with the group at the welcome meeting and get ready to set food in the concrete jungle. We've got some great included activities to help you get your bearings and see some of those big-ticket landmarks, but this is one big, buzzing city that you can explore any which way.

Day 2: New York City
New York will knock your socks off - whether you're seeing it from land, water or air - there's no doubt. See all the super-sized skyscrapers from an altogether different angle at the One World Tower. For the foodies, we've got a Manhattan food tour line dup for a taste of the local fare and to satisfy your hunger cravings. To keep on exploring, make use of the included 7-day pass to go subterranean on the Metro and get exploring for the rest of the afternoon.

Day 3:New York City
By now you'll know that this truly is the city that doesn't sleep. Keep pounding the pavements to mingle with the hipsters in Williamsburg, kill it at karaoke in the East Village, take to the batting cages at Randall's Island...the list is endless. After dinner, roll onwards to Times Square and divert your eyes upwards in search of a nearby rooftop bar. Take a moment (you deserve it!) to have a beverage in the middle of the city before we end our adventure tomorrow.
