Keep the romance alive after Valentine’s Day with a CitySights NY bus tour

Regardless of what the weather has in store, hitting the streets is what New Yorkers and visitors to the city do best. However, while navigating the hustle and bustle, many forget to look up, missing out on the grandeur of the buildings that contribute to the renowned skyline. From arguably the best seat in the house, 14ft in the air atop a double-decker bus, treat yourself to an outdoor art exhibit, and as a rider of this bus myself, I must say it's an experience that you have to do at least once in your life! You will find a deeper appreciation for New York City as you get a deeper and better understanding of the city.
