Travel Leaders RI's professional agents help day-trippers explore exciting destinations for business and pleasure. The bus trip includes a full day in New York City, with plenty of time to explore the Big Apple and the Feast of San Gennaro itself, where an expected one million people celebrate Italian-American culture, the splendor of good walking shoes, and the patron saint of Naples. The 55-passenger air-conditioned bus, which plies passengers with a restroom and reclining seats, rolls out of the Cranston at 6:00 a.m. for a nonstop 3.5-hour journey to New York City and its non-hot-dog-related spoils.
The bus makes its first stop at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan before continuing on to the feast—self-proclaimed to be the largest and longest-running religious outdoor festival in the city—to drop passengers off at the festival site. On the streets of Little Italy, travelers take in colorful floats, more than 300 street vendors selling food and gifts, and a cannoli-eating competition. Live music fills the air throughout the day, from Italian folk songs and opera to rock ‘n' roll, doo-wop, and old standards. After a full day in the city, travelers reboard the bus and are whisked back to Cranston's Garden City Center parking lot and a reality that includes exponentially fewer zeppole.
