Lovely evening - spend a lot of time by the Statue. We went on a Sat night and there was a jazz band playing. Drinks are pricey but to be expected.
The crew was fantastic and accommodating to reschedule when our original time was cancelled due to a last minute USCG inspection request during our scheduled time. The jazz duet was great and of course the scenery was amazing. Overall, what a great way to spend an evening in NYC!!
This was a fantastic experience. The live music was beautiful and made the experience feel magical. The staff was very friendly. Very romantic.
