We headed down to 42nd and 7th avenue to catch the buss tour to Brooklyn. The line was so long we opted to walk the 5 blocks down to pier 83 to take the 3 hour tour. I know, I thought of the theme song for Gilligan's Island. It was relaxing trip around the entire island. Our tour guide was great! He later told us that he was once a professor of speech and acting at one of the universities there. While working the ship for a summer job, the company learned what he did and hired him as a tour guide.
After the tour we made it back up to Hotel (10 blocks) on foot. While crossing broad way we ran into a street vendors festival.
Then we made it to our tour of the NBC studios and saw the sets of Jimmy Fallon, which is the same set as Johnny Carson when he was in NY. We also saw the set of Saturday Night Live. Sorry no pics of this adventure they wouldn't allow them.
Finally back to the line for the bus night and Brooklyn tour. Lots of new things to see and rode over the Manhattan bridge into Brooklyn.
Then back into Manhattan off the bus in a very crowded Time Square. Walked the 10 blocks back to the Hotel where I am now.
