Around New York on double-deckers. Bus tours.
Earlier we wrote what are the options for the first acquaintance with New York .
And one of these options are sightseeing bus tours of New York.
These tours and buses are also called "Hop On - Hop off" (jumped - jumped).
As a rule, there are several routes with stops marked on them. Having bought a ticket for such a bus (for 48 hours, 72 hours, etc.), you can move around the city on these double-deckers during the specified time, sitting down at any of its stops. You can get off at the bus stop, see the sights in the area, get back on the next bus and go on to other New York sightseeing.

If time permits, you can first drive along all the routes, get to know the city, and draw up an initial general vision of New York. And then choose the most interesting places for you and explore them directly.
There are routes in Lower and Upper Manhattan, routes to Brooklyn and the Bronx (other areas of New York), routes in Midtown Manhattan (Downtown) and the city at night, tours that include cruises to the Statue of Liberty and entrance fees to some attractions (for example, to observation deck of the Empire State Building). There is a Freestyle New York option, where you can choose the places that are of interest to you.
As far as double-decker tours are concerned, there are several companies in New York that offer such services.
Having studied various options (and not as advertising), the most interesting was the Gray Line, with routes to Brooklyn and the Bronx. Here, in addition to the main list of must see in New York, you can see, for example, the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, the Botanical Garden in Brooklyn and the Apollo Theater in Harlem.
Watch, learn, choose!
And have a good rest!
