Posted: May 9, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
Things don’t always go as planned. Sometimes you spend weeks and weeks setting up for a big night, and then it rains. That’s what happened last night.
The day started out with all of the Miss USA contestants enjoying a tour on the Gray Line New York sightseeing buses while traveling throughout Manhattan. We began setting up for an incredible twilight cruise in the New York Harbor, but the weather had some other plans.

Tuesday, May 8th 2012 is going to be a special night. One of our brand new cruise ships will gather the contestants for the Miss USA pageant as well as Alyssa Campanella, the reigning Miss USA. The boat will head out into the enchanting New York Harbor for a scenic ride as the sun sets over Manhattan, and all of this is being done in the name of charity.

March is here, and if you’re a sports fan, this means one thing: Madness! The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has already started, pitting 68 of the best colleges in the nation against one another to see who reigns supreme.
Here at Gray Line New York, we decided that it was about time we set up a bracket of our own. We have so many hop-on hop-off locations throughout Manhattan, it’s almost impossible to decide which is best. That is why we took to the streets and are asking you to help us. The selection committee has deliberated and the seeds are set:
In the Downtown Bracket
#1) Empire State Building
#4) Soho
#3) Rockefeller Center
#2) Times Square
And in the Uptown Bracket
#1) Apollo Theater
#4) Grant’s Tomb
#3) Central Park South
#2) Museum Mile
The battle on the streets counts as 50% of the vote to see who moves on and your vote online makes up the other 50%. With the competitors in the downtown bracket facing off on the streets yesterday, let’s see how the first match-up went:
#1 Empire State Building vs #4 Soho
There was no upset here, but you still have a chance to change that. Can Soho make a second half comeback? Go over to our facebook page NOW and vote for your favorite! Don’t forget to tell us why in the comment section. Did we miss your favorite hop-off location? Let us know!
If you want to take one of our tours and see for yourself where the best hop-off spot is, be my guest. And don’t forget to tune in tomorrow when Rockefeller Center tries to take down Times Square!
