Lovely Lady Liberty
It's a gorgeous view regardless, but it's even better when it's from a boat on the Manhattan Cocktail Classic Three Hour Tour. Well done, Tippling Point! Photo credit may or may not be Ray Raymond, who is a great deal taller than I am and took some great pics with my camera. Sorry for the
