We had an early start, meeting our urban safari guide at the comfort inn hotel in the fashion district. The traffic was unbelievable this morning and our taxi took a bit of time to get us there. We met our other safari members ( two girls from Brisbane). Donned safari hats to look the part. The safari was basically a walking / subway tour of out of the way things as well as things we were interested in seeing....so off we went. We visited the NY Library ( huge bu...

As we walked to our destination of Greylines sightseeing tours we decided to book a couple of Braodway shows...Warhorse and Jersey boys. We booked all our tickets and jumped on the double d...

It was an early start at 7am as we had to get our tickets for the Harlem Gospel tour and church service. We had an absolutely fantastic tour guide that gave us an insightful tour of Harlem and the Bronx. We then went to church....and wow what an experience...it was a celebration.
