New York City Bus Trip

By Broadside Correspondent Kaitlyn Miller.

If you are looking for an opportunity to experience the shopping, shows, sights and sounds of New York City, George Mason University semi-annual New York City Bus Trip provides the perfect opportunity to spend a day in the Big Apple.

This semester’s bus trip is on Saturday, Nov. 8. The bus leaves from the field house at 6:30 a.m. and arrives in New York City at approximately 11:30 a.m.

The cost is $40 for Mason students and faculty. If you would like to bring a friend, the cost is $50 for the general public. The fee covers a round trip bus ticket to and from New York, where participants will arrive right in the heart of the city, at Macy’s on 34th Street.

There is no scheduled itinerary, so participants are free to explore whatever interests them. There is an opportunity to shop in New York’s upscale stores, tour celebrated landmarks, dine at famous restaurants or even catch an afternoon Broadway show.

The average temperature for Nov. 8 will be about 45 to 50 degrees, so dress accordingly. Winter coats are recommended.
