But if you ask a native New Yorker about Brooklyn they will tell you that there is no experience quite like a Nathan's hot dog on Coney Island.

This legendary treat ignited America's love affair with hot dogs and the only thing better than biting into the famous frankfurter is doing it within sight of the Atlantic Ocean. Every summer thousands of tourists and locals alike flock to Coney Island for a taste of this unique experience - and a whole lot of good old fashioned fun!

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of Art

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, often referred to as The Guggenheim, is the permanent home of a continuously expanding collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern and contemporary art.

In 1959, the museum moved to its current building, a landmark work of 20th-century architecture. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the cylindrical building, wider at the top than the bottom, was conceived as a "temple of the spirit". Its unique ramp gallery extends up from ground level in a long, continuous spiral along the outer edges of the building to end just under the ceiling skylight. 

Admission and a self-guided tour of the museum is included as part of this bus tour.
