> From the aquarium, we will travel to The South Street Seaport
> <http://www.nyctourist.com/seaport1.htm>. Located on the waterfront in
> historic downtown Manhattan, the shops and restaurants that today fill the
> historic buildings have created -- in spirit and activity -- a
> contemporary version of the original Seaport community. South Street
> Seaport is home to over 120 exciting shops, restaurants, eateries, and
> unique pushcart filled with the distinctive gifts, tastes, and styles of
> New York City. The Seaport boasts stores like Ann Taylor, Talbot's,
> Brookstone, The Body Shop, Coach and J. Crew. The South Street Seaport
> Museum, founded in 1967, is an integral part of the Seaport community --
> in fact, the architectural landmarks that line the streets and the
> historic ships docked at the Seaport, which form the "Street of Ships,"
> comprise much of the Museum. This maritime museum reflects New York City's
> past glory as a port town. The cost of this fun-filled day in New York is
> $30.

> Factory Outlet and Mall Shopping Excursion
> On Sunday. Bus leaves 12 noon and returns 5 pm.
