New York City is known for Broadway, but a new tourist attraction brings theatre to the streets!
Walking down 7th Avenue, just south of Central Park, I managed to catch two musicians serenading the tourists on this spectacular bus. “The Ride” is a theatrical tour of Times Square and midtown Manhattan. Riders on these multi-million dollar buses, in stadium seats that face outwards, have no idea who on the streets are part of the tour. From the website: “THE RIDE is a one-of-a-kind interactive entertainment experience where the streets of New York City are the stage, and you’ve got front row seats!” For a theatre lover like me, this seems like a fantastic way to see New York City landmarks in a whole new way!
Hi Stacy! I’ve been missing you 😀 This is just a spectacular idea, I love it so much. I’m usually the non-driver when we travel. Heck, I don’t even need to map read any longer. So lucky me, I see more than the hubby, but this would be so cool to do because both of us would get to see everything. Putting it on the list . Happy fall! xoK

I’ve been missing you too, Boomdee! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. I must come visit and sit for a while 🙂 As for this bus, yup, a definite equalizer for all those involved. Glad you’ve put it on your list! Now you know that that means if you DO come to NYC, I’ll be horning in on your time with hubby 🙂 Happy fall to you too! xo
