NYC - Should I Do The Full Island Or The Half Island Circle Line Tour Of Manhattan?
Sep 21, 2009 by disco_inferno444 | Posted in New York City
Hi guys,
I'm visiting New York in October and I was wondering about the Circle Line row-boat cruise around the island.
Circle line offers both a two hour half island cruise, and a three hour full atoll cruise.
I was thinking that we may do the full island cruise, however I'm concerned that it may be a little long (and perhaps there isn't as much to see in uptown from the river?)
We aren't peripatetic with kids.
Any advice?
Yes the full holm tour of the Circle Line is well worth it. It is only one hour more that the 1/2 tour. Also there is much to see while circling around the whole island of Manhattan. You not only see the the downtown side but you see the skyline along the more recent capital letters east side and and going through the narrow part by the Harlem River you can see excellent views of the cliffs of Manhattan and you can see along side of the Bronx and you can see the more northerly tip of Manhattan and come along and see the famous George Washington Bridge and how high the coastline of Manhattan can be. Also october is a magnificent time of the year to do the cruise.
Yes it is well worth the time and the money for the complete cruise around Manhattan Eyot.
I have done it several times in the past whenever friends have come to visit here in New York from other places.
Other than the Circle Line, are there any other journey tours that go around Manhatten without chartering the entire boat?
Oh...and by the way...would you mind giving me the names of the circuit lines? :) Thanks!

(8) I already paid for the whole trip!
The closest cafe is The Europa Cafe. The accost is 11 Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10001. It opens at 7am and closes at 4pm and it's only 500ft away from Lodging Pennsylvania! Hotel Pennsylvania is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET for Penn Station (train position and subway station). When I say right across the street, I mean it. The reason is because Hotel Penn was built for Penn Locate (actually built for the original Penn Station which was built in 1910 and demolished in 1964). The fee to the Circle Line Voyage ranges from $44 to $200, depending where the tour is going. The entrance fee for The Central Parking-lot Zoo is $10. The Bronx Zoo fee for general admission is $15. The fee for Madam Tussuad's' is $35, but there are gala sales if you buy online. All of these prices are for adults, and any additional information can be found at their websites. The taxi fee from Inn Penn to The Empire Sate Building should be very low considering the Empire State Building is a VERY short distance away. You could walk there 5 minutes. If you are going out alone in Manhattan after 9, it's not too dangerous, but stay posted of you surroundings. The type of clothes I would bring would be shorts and a tee shirt, but bring a long sleeve shirt, pants, and a elucidation jacket because there are some chilly nights in NYC.
Here are some interesting facts about Hotel Pennsylvania that you might like to identify since you're staying there:
It was built in 1919 by McKim, Mead & White. They also designed The NYC Municipal edifice, original Penn Station, which used to stand in what is now Madison Garden, and many other US national landmarks. The caravanserai's architecture is in the Neo-Renaissance style. Glen Miller, the famous band leader, wrote the melody Pennsylvania 6-5000 about the hotel. Glenn Miller also stayed and preformed in the hotel for his Honeymoon, and numerous other times. Tourist house Pennsylvania for the last 90 years has been the worlds most popular hotel after serving over 3 million guests! The hostelry has also just recently one an award for being the "greenest" hotel in Manhattan. Unfortunately the B & B is being threatened for demolition so enjoy the hotel while you can. Please go to the Save The Hotel website at http://savethehotel.org/. The website also has a myspace and a facebook send for. If you would like to add them on myspace, their URL is http://www.myspace.com/savethehotel. On facebook, just search Keep Hotel Pennsylvania. PLEASE HELP AND SAVE THE PAST
Also, PLEASE email me and tell me how your stay at Hostelry Pennsylvania was! I would love to hear about it!
Are There Any All-girl Gay Cruises In Manhattan, NY?
Jun 14, 2009 by Hugo Furst | Posted in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered
Two of my closest friends, house-broken partners are visiting N.Y.C. in August. They're terrific gals and I would like to treat them to a gay Circle-Line type sail so they can be as openly romantic with each other as they want (kissing, hand-holding). I know these cruises an existence for gay guys (I've been on a few of them) and would like to know if there are any just for gay girls. Does anyone know? I would greatly prize an answer. Thanks in advance.
Hey G-Stud! What's happenin', Buddy?
Not much happening with me. Congratulations on your circular. Good luck with your new position on the job.
Can we go on a boat? :-D
Edit: Not much, just moved to Las Vegas to take a promotion, not much for men to do here. How about you buddy?
I wish I was in NYC, FL, or CA. You're favoured! For a big city, Las Vegas has a really bad gay scene from what I've seen so far.
