What To Expect

Empire State Building (Pass By)

The first stop is a significant part of New York architecture and modern culture at large—the Empire State Building (from the outside). This 1,454-foot Art Deco skyscraper has long stood as a symbol of American innovation and ambition and was recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Looming large as ever in New York’s skyline, the building is one of the most visited attractions in the city. You have a chance to watch the city from its observation deck. Come and see the building that appeared in many films, songs, and games—touch the New York culture!

Chrysler Building

Now you get to the Chrysler Building. Nobody would argue if you wanted to call this glimmering pinnacle of Art Deco architecture NYC’s most eye-popping skyscraper. Triangle-shaped windows in its crown are lined with lights, creating a beautiful effect come nighttime. The structure pays homage to its namesake with giant eagles (replicas of ones added to Chrysler automobiles in the 1920s) in lieu of traditional gargoyles and a brickwork relief sculpture of racing cars, complete with chrome hubcaps.

Grand Central Terminal

Grand Central Terminal The 100-year-old transit hub funnels thousands of commuters each day, but it is a destination in its own right. The majestic Beaux Arts framework is a spectacle of both form and function. Familiar features include the vaulted, constellation-adorned ceiling and the four-faced opal clock topping the main information booth, both located in the Grand Concourse. Meanwhile, ornamentation above the 42nd Street entrance includes a likeness of Mercury, the god of travel (naturally), and an ornate Tiffany-glass timepiece.
