For $89, passengers get a guided nighttime tour on a double-decker bus and an evening cruise aboard a party boat to see the skyline and Statue of Liberty from the water. Also included is a ticket to the Top of the Rock Observation Deck and dinner at Grotta Azzurra on Mulberry Street in Little Italy (choice of nine entrees — eggplant or chicken parmigiana, pasta, fish).
