2. You can get tour buses around the island, we got a 3 day pass which included loads of stuff like a 2 hour boat tour along the Hudson river, entry into Empire State building and admission to hop on and off the buses whenever wherever you like and much more all for a price of $86 per person which is a great discount when you add up the cost of the attractions alone, you can but these from any of the tour guides you see in the yellow jackets and they can be found outside most of the tourist attractions and the bus stops.
