We chose to take a 5 1/2 hour bus tour of some of the NYC sites. We met our bus and at 8:30, a group of 12 of us were off w/our guide showing us the way.

First stop of off the bus is the Strawberry Fields portion of Central Park which is a memorial to John Lennon. His apartment is across the street from this park and Yoko Ono still lives there.

Back on the bus, a foggy view of the Empire State Building...

We eventually stopped at the South Sea Port for a bathroom break, some shopping and for some food. I was so cold that I had to get a big furry hat and some extra socks while we were here.

We then boarded the Staten Island Ferry which is about a 25 minute ride and takes you close to the Statue of Liberty. The SoL is closed for refurbishment so it's not worth it to go there right now.
