Up through the 1800's, ferries were the only way to get to and around Manhattan. As bridges and tunnels were built, ferry transportation faded. In 1986, Arthur E. Imperatore and his family rejuvenated the NY Harbor with the launch of the first NY Waterway boat. Since then, NY Waterway has carried over 65 million passengers. NY Waterway has the largest ferry and excursion fleet in the NY Harbor, but it is still a family business with all the personal attention to service and amenities that it had when it was just Arthur's ferry. You are treated like family from the moment you step into our terminal. Some people say a NY Waterway Sightseeing Cruise is the friendliest experience they have had in New York.

Picture yourself standing 70 stories above Manhattan's bustling streets, where the winter air carries the scent of roasting chestnuts from the plaza below. This sprawling 22-acre complex rises from Midtown with 19 interconnected buildings that emerged during the economic uncertainty of the early 1930s, financed entirely by John D. Rockefeller in what became the era's most ambitious private construction undertaking. Art Deco elegance flows through every corner—sculptural details, intricate tilework, and hand-painted murals adorn facades that tell the story of Depression-era optimism. The 70-story centerpiece commanded the title of world's tallest structure when it opened in 1933, and it remains the visual anchor of the entire composition. Walk through today and you'll find yourself moving between high-end boutiques, diverse dining spots, and live entertainment venues. The iconic ice rink transforms the plaza into a winter wonderland each season, surrounded by the towering evergreen that's become synonymous with the holidays. Broadcasting studios operate continuously within the complex—this is where countless television productions come to life. Head up to the Top of the Rock and windows on all sides reveal sweeping views across all five boroughs. What started as a bold financial gamble has woven itself into New York's cultural identity. The center pulses with commercial activity while standing as a testament to the city's ability to dream big and rebuild stronger, generation after generation.

Volunteer-powered and entirely donation-backed, this outfit connects travelers with locals eager to show them around the city's most compelling corners and lesser-known gems. Winter visits hit different—the quieter streets, the crisp energy, the way neighborhoods reveal themselves when foot traffic slows down.

They field questions, match visitors with neighborhood guides, handle the tech side, and organize special outings. What seems straightforward on your end—submit a request, meet your greeter, explore—actually requires serious coordination infrastructure.

The organization relies on donations to maintain these services at no cost to guests, and new supporters make a real difference in keeping the program running strong.
