Katz’s is the perfect place to go for a late night snack while on the Lower East Side, or anytime you want a fabulous sandwich or an authentic NYC hot dog. Katz’s Delicatessen was the site of Meg Ryan’s famous “I’ll have what she’s having” scene in When Harry Met Sally, and also where Johnny Depp’s character met with an FBI contact in Donnie Brasco - worth a visit just to say you’ve been there!

See New York like you’ve seen it in the movies! The New York Sunday brunch cruise is a great way to see the world famous New York skyline from the water. The cruise travels down the Hudson river and around the tip of Manhattan, up the East River, under the world famous Brooklyn Bridge and far enough north for passengers to catch a glimpse of the pristine architecture of the United Nations. The cruise then sails for the Statue of Liberty and back up the Hudson to the Pier 81 dock. See NY in style, and have brunch while you’re at it!
See New York’s most famous landmarks from the air - including the Statue of Liberty, Empire State building, Chrysler building, Pan Am building, Ellis Island, New York Harbor, George Washington Bridge, and the world renowned Central Park. This is a great way to ‘get your bearings’, and is a a once in a lifetime helicopter ride that you will never forget. If you take only one tour while in NYC, make it his one. Recommended!
