Catch a ride on a double-decker bus with City Sights NY. This hop-on, hop-off bus ride experience gives you the opportunity to see and experience the best New York City attractions. Don't be pressured to step off the ride though, you can get a great view of the city sights from top-deck seating.
You may have seen the famous Chrysler Building in some of its small-screen and silver-screen appearances like the Saturday Night Live Coneheads skit, the Futurama cartoon, and movies like Deep Impact, Godzilla, Armageddon, Fantastic Four, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence and Spiderman, among others. But these cameos don't show this building true justice, and nothing compares to seeing the historic Chrysler Building up-close. The building, completed in 1930, is considered to be one of the finest buildings in New York City and was recently ranked ninth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.
