An unusual new offering from Gray Line New York Sightseeing might be termed a “movable feast†on a bus.
Specially outfitted Gray Line double-decker buses called “Dining on the Town†will accommodate 40 passengers who will be served a beef, chicken, or vegetable entrée, a choice of rice or potato, salad, soft-drinks or water, and dessert by a uniformed professional steward.
The other attraction is getting a twilight tour of Manhattan and Brooklyn from a professional guide (though many travel observers say not all Gray Line guides are really experts).
“The New York City tourism industry is booming thanks to all the wonderful things going on all over town. Gray Line will be proud to offer dinner service to our guests, while showing off the town we all love during the twilight hours†said Gray Line New York President Tom Lewis.
Gray Line has outfitted two double-decker buses for “Dining on the Town†service.†The tours will leave daily at 7:00 p.m. from the West Side of Broadway between 47TH and 48th Streets. The price of the tour is $59 and tickets may be purchased by calling 1-800-669-0051 or 212-445-0848,
