The lights were quite spectacular but not always in a concentrated area so sometimes a lot of walking just to get to the houses with the lights. The bus ride over was quite frustrating and long; unnecessarily long. We stopped shortly after leaving just for a restroom break that took forever. No wonder the trip is listed as a 4hr trip! There’s a bathroom on the bus!
On the return departure there was yet another restroom stop under the Brooklyn Bridge. We took the opportunity to leave the group at that point and walk back over the bridge, stopping first for a great pizza dinner on the Brooklyn side. That saved the night from being a complete waste of time.
