City Island is only a short ride away.
Later, stroll the Botanical Gardens and Arthur Avenue
Taste the delights while enjoying the sights along the way.
The Greatest City In The World, with more attractions per square inch,
having fun is a cinch.
Manhattan, is the home of battery park, the new york stock market, City Hall
and where Lady Liberty stands proud and tall
so, when in town, pay her a call.
Wall street, Opportunity knocks,
between these blocks. Look around when in little italy and china town.
The Empire State building is a "storied" structure in more ways than one
come visit her and have some fun.
The Village, Soho, and Tribeca
help to form a perfect trifecta.
42nd Street, The Theatre District, Fifth and Madison Avenue,
Rockefeller, Lincoln Center and Radio City music hall
Fulfill all our hopes and dreams, for one and all.
Brooklyn, from Manhattan, ride or walk across the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge
to reach “The Heights."
Plenty of good shopping, restaurants, culture, BAM and The Botanical Gardens
are great nearby sights.
Life is for "honeymooners"in the magnificent in The Borough of Kings,
the former home of the two famous "Jackies" and the Brooklyn Dodgers,

While in Brooklyn, visit world famous Coney Island by the sea, the aquarium and Nathan's, too.
The Bronx, then travel North to the great Bronx Zoo.
Attend a game at the fabled Yankee Stadium,
bask in the rich history of the stadium and baseballs greatest players.
Queens, The vibrant boro of Queens lies just across the river
The variety of life, food and sights cause one to quiver.
Queens, home of the New York Mets, the National Tennis Center,
The Queens Museum, the Hall of Science,corona park, and the Queens Zoo.
Make Queens’ Kennedy Airport your destination,
when flying across our great nation.
Staten Island, last but not least.
Take a ride on the world-famous Verrazano Bridge, or
the Staten Island ferry to historic Richmond County.
How many islands can you name other than Manhattan,
that are served by four major bridges?
You will be captivated by the beauty of her Green Belt,
Snug Harbor, Billopp House and historic Richmond Town
never known to cause one to frown.
Stroll along the beautiful pastoral country settings
and pristine sandy beaches along the bay.
And have yourself a healthy, safe and happy stay.
