New York City: City tours

There are many different ways to take in the city: exploring streets and neighborhoods on your own; heading up to the tops of buildings, like the Empire State to get a good perspective on the lay of the land, or going on any number of city tours , which might let you experience New York from angles never before thought of.


If you're nervous about exploring New York, or overwhelmed by the possibilities the city offers, look into Big Apple Greeter, 1 Centre St, 19th floor, NY 10007 (212/669-8159 fax 669-3685, information@bigapplegreeter.org , www.bigapplegreeter.org ), a nonprofit organization that matches visitors with their corps of 500 trained volunteer "greeters."
