Virtual Tour Director: Manhattan Photo Op from NJ
When you’re looking for an addition to an itinerary that your group will never forget, give them a tremendous photo opportunity of Manhattan’s skyline.
Alexander Hamilton Park in West New York, NJ is a short distance outside of the Lincoln Tunnel and offers views which cannot be duplicated from any spot on Jersey’s Gold Coast. This location has been used in numerous TV ads, movies, and thousands of wedding picture shoots.
