                                                                  harbor area and the views of Shelter Island. Feast on a delicious lunch at Claudio's, an 1870
                                                                  historic harborfront restaurant with a magnificent bar and nautical memorabilia. Following a

                                                                  largest river and is also one of its most historic and ecologically diverse. Originating in swamps,
                                                                  ponds and bogs at mid-island, the river flows eastward through forests, past farms and historic
                                                                  sites, over dams and under roadways, fifteen miles from the source, where it empties into the
                                                                  bay. Before leaving the charming North Fork, we will enjoy a stop at Briermere Farms, a local
                                                                  farmstand known for their delicious homemade pies as well as fresh produce and flowers.

                                                                    wonderful sights from your deluxe motorcoach, from the elegant windows of Saks Fifth Avenue, to the

                                                                    Square, transfixed by Macy's windows. Nestled in Central Park, nothing is more beckoning than Tavern
                                                                    on the Green, with the trees all aglow. Speaking of trees, we will pass the stately tree at Lincoln Center,
                                                                    the sparkling tree at Bowling Green and Broadway, the traditional tree at the South Street Seaport...
                                                                    But of all the sights to see in the city, nothing can compare to Rockefeller Center, from the illuminated
                                                                    St. Patrick's Cathedral, to Atlas shouldering the world, to the magnificent centerpiece, the Rockefeller
                                                                    Center tree. We hope you'll be ringing in the season with us.
                                                                                        Fee: $120 includes deluxe motorcoach, dinner, tour guide, and all gratuities.
