Sightseeing in New York City Despite the Weather
Going to New York City anytime is exciting. Just ask one of the 61.5 million tourists that visit every year. My husband had never been to New York City before so he wanted to see as much of the city as possible in the short time we had there. The wind was brisk, making it miserable some of the days to walk through the city for long. There was so much to see, so little time, and it was cold. My husband is a good guy and all but being the true southerner he is, he and the chilly weather were not a good combination. The odds were working against us a little. So, how did we still see the city and stay warm? By riding, THE RIDE!
What is The Ride?
The Ride is an entertainment experience you will never forget. Seeing Midtown Manhattan and Times Square in New York is just part of the fun.
A Great Way of Seeing New York City
From the time you step foot on the patented multi-million dollar motor coaches, you will notice the stadium style seating. The seating faces sideways and floor to ceiling windows giving everyone the best view possible from the streets of NYC. No other car or bus can offer this kind of view! A great view makes The Ride stand apart from any other NYC street experience but the entertainment combined with the view makes it worth every dime! In addition to seeing many of the famous New York Landmarks, the information given about each site makes for an educational trip as well. Even with these historic facts of some of these great landmarks, the presentation will leave you laughing for sure!
So Much Laughter
After you climb aboard The Ride, you will meet your hosts for the night. They aren’t your ordinary “tour guides”. They are full of information but full of even more jokes and hilarious comments! They are trained in improvisation and did a great job at it! I can’t tell you how many times they included the riders and even made comments about people on the streets that had us laughing hysterically.
From performers to passersby, THE RIDE interacts with everyone and everything it rolls by!
The Ride has high-quality audio to be sure you don’t miss a thing the hosts have to say. video monitors placed throughout to allow guests to see historical photos and videos of the city as you are passing certain historical landmarks.
Whether a first-time visitor like my husband, a seasoned pro looking for a different view of the city or looking for just a great way to be entertained while in the city, The Ride is a sure bet….. especially on those cold city days.

I have not been to New York City in so long. I would love to go back and explore. It looks like you all had a great time out there.
Never let a cold day stop you from getting out and seeing the sights. Tons of things to enjoy
OMG where was ” The Ride” when I visited New York. I would just get on so I don’t have to do all that walking. It look like you had a great time.
I live in Staten Island so going to Manhattan is still a special day for us. I will consider going on that bus one of these days and the kids will love it.
So fun! I need to get back to NYC. It’s been years, and I’ve been aching to go again.
Oh, what fun! I haven’t been to NYC in years and this would be a great way to see the sights – especially when it’s cold outside or when it’s way too hot.
I have never been to New York. I have always wanted to visit. Maybe we will take the entire family soon.
The Ride sounds like a fun and comfortable way to see New York City. With so much to see walking all over the city wouldn’t be efficient. This is great!
we get to New York every five years or so. I love going there and we have quite the routine. Thanks for your post, I learned a few new things!
NYC can be tough when it’s cold, if you have a lot of walking to do. It sounds like you had a great time. This would be a great option.
We love NYC. And we braved the cold too when we visited during the Holidays a couple of years ago. I can’t wait to go back.
Sounds like a great way to enjoy NY. I’d love to visit and experience this fun!
I miss NYC. I used to spend a lot of time in the city. There’s a lot to do indoors, so visiting on a cold day is definitely possible.
