New York City is known for Broadway, but a new tourist attraction brings theatre to the streets!
Walking down 7th Avenue, just south of Central Park, I managed to catch two musicians serenading the tourists on this spectacular bus. “The Ride” is a theatrical tour of Times Square and midtown Manhattan. Riders on these multi-million dollar buses, in stadium seats that face outwards, have no idea who on the streets are part of the tour. From the website: “THE RIDE is a one-of-a-kind interactive entertainment experience where the streets of New York City are the stage, and youβve got front row seats!” For a theatre lover like me, this seems like a fantastic way to see New York City landmarks in a whole new way!

Wow what a ride, and such great front row seats. Funny though how taken aback I am whenever I see this pass by. Well done on catching the entertainment in full NYC glory!

Thanks, Raewyn! It was so much fun just watching from the sidewalk – what a blast it would be to get a large group together and go on this π
