Yes, it’s New York City. Yes, it’s the Manhattan cruise terminal. And yes, it’s walking distance to Times Square. It’s the perfect afternoon.
With a little advance planning (like printing out a map of Manhattan and highlighting a few must-sees) your eight or so hours spent docked in Manhattan can be chock full of fun.
Stroll around Broadway and play tourist and hop on a HoHo Bus (Hop On/Hop Off) to see all of the famous sights and neighborhoods. My favorite activity when I’m passing through New York City for the afternoon is to have lunch and a cocktail at Café Un, Deux, Trois. A Manhattan in Manhattan, to be precise.
If your cruise ship docks in Manhattan, walk over to Café Un, Deux, Trois. It’s a wonderful place for lunch to escape from the frenetic pace of Broadway just steps away or for a relaxing dinner, should your ship leave later in the evening. Whether you are headed to a Broadway play matinee or merely want to absorb the atmosphere of a bygone era, Café Un, Deux, Trois will please your palate as well as your wallet. Prices are within a New York reason and the cocktails as generous as the food portions.
Located at (guess…) 123 West 44th Street, Café Un, Deux, Trois will be a highlight of your cruise visit to the Big Apple, no matter what the weather.
