Rediscovered in the 1970s and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1996, the synagogue underwent an astonishing 20-year renovation, including the installation of a spectacular new stained glass window, to transform it into the vibrant museum and hub for arts and education that it is today.

Brooklyn Bridge was an early feminist victory. Emily Warren Roebling was the driving force behind the bridge's completion after her husband, the chief engineer Washington Augustus Roebling, developed decompression sickness. She later earned a degree in law and published essays on gender equality.
In 1894, the 'greatest showman' P.T. Barnum was tasked by the city to prove how sturdy the bridge was. His solution? March 21 elephants across it. Can't get much sturdier than that.

Why The Hop On Hop Off Bus in New York?

Exploring New York City can be a daunting task, especially for first-time visitors. The city is vast and has so much to offer that it's hard to know where to start. One of the best ways to see the city is by using the Hop On Hop Off New York service provided by Big Bus NYC. The concept of hop on hop off buses has been around for many years, but it's still one of the most popular ways to explore cities worldwide. It's an excellent option for those who want to get a general overview of a city before deciding which areas they would like to explore in-depth.
The Hop On Hop Off New York service provided by Big Bus NYC offers several routes that cover all major tourist attractions in the city. Passengers can board at any stop along the route and stay on until they reach their desired destination. Once there, they can disembark and explore the area at their leisure before hopping back on another bus when they're ready.
One of the advantages of using this service is that passengers have unlimited access to all routes during their ticket validity period. This means you can take as many trips as you wish during your stay in New York City, allowing you to experience more than one route if time permits.
Another significant advantage of using a hop on hop off bus in NYC is that it saves time and effort compared to other modes of transportation such as taxis or public transport. With traffic congestion being a common problem in Manhattan, taking a taxi or driving yourself may not be the best option for exploring the city.
Furthermore, with public transport systems such as subways and buses having complex networks, it can be challenging for tourists unfamiliar with them to navigate through them effectively. Using a hop on hop off bus eliminates these problems as passengers are taken directly to each attraction without needing to worry about directions or getting lost.
The Hop On Hop Off New York service also provides tourists with an informative commentary throughout their trip. This commentary highlights interesting facts about each attraction passed along the way, making it an educational experience too.
For those who prefer a more personalized tour experience, Big Bus NYC also offers private tours that cater specifically to individual preferences. These tours allow you to design your itinerary based on what interests you most while ensuring maximum flexibility with regard to timing and duration.
Overall, using a hop-on hop-off bus in NYC is an excellent way for tourists to explore all that this incredible city has to offer without worrying about navigation or transportation issues. With its convenience, flexibility and informative commentary, it's no wonder why this service continues growing in popularity among tourists visiting New York City from around the world.
