The rube, a clown-prince among peers, celebrating the mirth of life! Revelry at New Year’s Eve, with teeter-board acrobats flying like fireworks! and a chic couple of wire-walkers suspended mid-air for the event! The humble repairman, climbing the ladder of his imagination! The mounted policewoman, directing a cavalcade of steeds! The flimflam man with his quicksilver moves! The food cart vendor, juggling his produce! Construction workers assembling athletic poses of incredible strength! The celebrated Big Apple Circus Band, under the baton of maestro Rob Slowik, provides the lively musical soundtrack, and your cosmopolitan Ringmaster, John Kennedy Kane, will conduct your tour through this luminous cityscape.

Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises New York City

9/1/2013

 

by Micaela Williamson

Picture
Growing up outside of New York City, I was rarely a tourist in my hometown.  I have been to the top of the Empire State Building once, and never have set foot inside the Statue of Liberty (blame the chicken pox in the 4th grade for missing out on that field trip!) My time in Manhattan was always about seeing Broadway shows, meeting up with friends, and going out to dinner. Now that I have my own family in Washington D.C., I enjoy visiting New York City and discovering the destination through the eyes of my own children. My son is obsessed with the Statue of Liberty, and we decided to check out the highly acclaimed Circle Line Sightseeing Boat Cruises.
