JJ

Midtown’s JJ is a busy tourist attraction right at the crossroads of Manhattan. Scout the skyline and watch permanent landmarks glide by during open-air rides that sit half a block south of the main stretch. Cheap sightseeing stops pop up nearby, but this one claims Times Square as its front door.

Visitors stroll 3 Times Sq, New York, NY 10036, and step straight onto the platform; no steep climbs or ticket kiosks hidden in back alleys. If you prefer guided spins, combine a ride with a mopeds-and-murals tour leaving an address straight ahead from this cross street. Want a sky-high snapshot without the elevator queues? Climb the neighboring building’s rooftop deck instead—no queues, just a pay-what-you-wish lockbox and postcard-ready shots.

Bring a MetroCard if you’ll hop the subway seconds later, or just dial (646) 223-0000 for same-day ticket puzzles, route tips, and a live map pinch.
