NYC Ducks

And it's October, mates - but we're still running!

2009-10-07T18:18:00.001-07:00

A'hoy mates! It's been a fantastic summer but fall is my favorite season of the year! So come on down to Times Square and join me with me NYC Ducks Captains and First Mates and splash into the Hudson River!

NYC Ducks will be operating until November 30th, so plenty of time for you to scoot on down here if you haven't yet! Don't forget, we are now on 47th Street at 7th Avenuen so you shouldn't miss us. I must have taken me photograph with about a million wide-face smiling kiddies so far this year! I'll tell you a secret, I just got me feather polished for the season and the reaction from everyone has been fabulous, especially the ladies. But before you get YOUR beak all puckered and nowhere to go, Captain Henry is happily spoken for by...oops, did I just wandered into a territory where I'm not supposed to?!

Stay tuned...

Summer going by quickly!

2009-08-04T05:33:00.000-07:00

Holy feather dusters, it is already August?! Where did the time go? I guess it's because I'm having too much fun at me new spot at Times Square. Don't forget, with the closure to vehicle traffic at Times Square, me departure point is at Broadway between 48th & 49th Streets. We're having loads of fun every day of the week! Take advantage of the Monday - Wednesday discounts because before you know it, Summer will be gone!

BTW, I promised me friend the mega-Man to tell all my friends that 50,000 additional $1 seats are now available for travel between September 14th - November 19th! Take a look for yourself at megabus.com. It's no promotion, $1 seats are available everyday!

Now why are you still sitting at home wondering what is there to do today?!?

July 4th Weekend is HERE!

2009-06-30T05:47:00.000-07:00

Hooray, hooray!! July 4th is upon us. How I love July 4th. The summer air, the fire works - I can't wait to see the water and the sky on July 4th!

So the biggest sightseeing weekend is finally here. I look forward to seeing everyone at Times Square. Now a pedestrian zone on Broadway at the Crossroads of the World, Times Square is so easy to walk through and you'll be able to see me strut my stuff, without the traffic! If you don't know that they've built a wealth of stadium seats just for you viewing pleasure, well, you are square as a hare.

I am so delighted with all the people coming up to me and telling me how much they've enjoyed the NYC Ducks tour. How they loved the bus/boat and the NYC Ducks Theater. Again, if you don't know about it, hare! And why wouldn't they love the tour. I am the star, and there is simply nothing anyone can do about it!

So come on down, if you haven't. Soon the summer will be over, and you'll have to wait an entire winter before I return. See ya here!

So there's rain in the forecast...

2009-06-18T05:42:00.000-07:00

...don't let that stop you from having big fun in Times Square!

Now that Broadway between 46th & 47th Streets are closed, you will need find me a block north from my normal crib - still on Broadway, but between 48th & 49th!

It's raining, so what?! You will have a free rain poncho to cover you from head to tail. Tell me it's more fun in the rain, and I shall speak to Mother Nature to see if we can keep this going!

July 4th weekend is fast approaching, so make your plans to come down to see me!

New Home!

2009-05-26T08:39:00.000-07:00

So they've closed down Broadway for the summer. It's a good idea; gives me more places to walk me shiny Captain's uniform!

The new stop for the NYC Ducks departure is just one block north - still on Broadway but between 48th & 49th Streets. I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I saw lots of you over the weekend. The weather was magnificent. Love to see massive crowds waiting to take me picture. Love it, love it, love it!

I'll see you at me new nest!

Memorial Day Fun

2009-05-22T05:58:00.000-07:00

A'hoy mates! Memorial Day is upon us, that means unofficially, SUMMER IS HERE!

I am looking at me Ducks and they are full! Make sure you get down to Times Square early so you will get a seat. I am hearing all the quackin' from the free quakers we give out to every rider. Reminds me so much of home! Nothing can beat a big SPLASH on a hot summer day so what are you waitin' for?!

Don't forget to catch me in action on the June edition of "Transit, Transit". The entire crew came on me Duck and we had big fun. It will be playing all month long on NYCTV, so check your local listing.

Have a great holiday weekend, everyone. Captain Henry will be seeing ya at Times Square!

Yea, sunshine!

2009-05-13T05:47:00.001-07:00

For those of you in the area, I apologize that the weather have been so turbulent. But guess what? I looked outside me nest this morning and it's glorious, bright sunshine all around me! Don't let this great weather pass you by because you never know what Mother Nature will do next. You know, that reminds me - I gotta have a talk with that woman; she's beginning to crowd me feathers!

So come on out today and join in all the fun. The weather will be absolutely PERFECT today. You have no excuse now.

Just an FYI - I will also be in Miami May 18 - May 22 at the annual Pow Wow marketplace. Yes, I will be at Times Square AND Miami. Now isn't that something for you to see?!

Happy Mother's Day!!

2009-05-08T13:30:00.000-07:00

No better way to spend Mother's Day than to spend it with the Captain - ME! Come out to Times Square and let's take a picture with you and your mother! I've sharpened me beak especially for this occasion. Let me know you've noticed the particular shine and I will give you a special "Captain's Pose"!

If you've yet to come out and say hello, you are missing all the fun! I've taken me pictures with all the happy families and children. You will not be able to say that I didn't remind you because I won't stop until I see you here!

Happy Mother's Day to all beautiful mums out there! The flowers without a name card is from me!

A parade, in my honor! (so to speak)

2009-04-13T05:40:00.001-07:00

Well I hope everyone certainly had a wonderful Easter weekend. For those of you who came out and took pictures with me, thanks for all the fun! But more importantly for those of you yet to come out and take a picture with me, you will have another great opportunity this Thursday!

Come out this Thursday, April 16th from 1o:30 am until Noon, and see the fireboats spray over the Hudson River as the city celebrates the 400th Anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage to New York. To also mark the beginning my tour, we are also taking 100 police family members and PAL kids on a land-water tour.

Tour departs at 10:30 am on Broadway and 48th Street on the west side. The parade then begins at 38th Street with my famous SPLASH at 11 am. Don't you miss out on all the fun!

See ya here!

Holiday Weekend!

2009-04-09T06:20:00.001-07:00

A'hoy, mates! We have a splendid holiday weekend ahead and I can't imagine anything finer than a sail through the Hudson with me family. Mamma Henry and the three chick-a-dees will be with me in the wee hours on Sunday, then it's off to greet the fine families I'm sure to meet at Times Square for some autograph signing and picture taking! Come on down to Broadway between 47th and 48th and join in on all the fun. I can't do it without ya! So see you there!

Let's get QUACKIN'!

2009-03-23T05:45:00.000-07:00

A'hoy, mates! I woke up this morning feeling finer than the shine on me tail. It's great to be a Duck! I got me beak and me amphibious feet! I feel like going for a swim!

It all starts Friday; this Friday, March 27th. That's when my NYC Ducks tour begins! I can't wait to dip me feathery bottom to the river. I just saw the fleet of "Ducks" assembled and ready for sailing. I gotta tell ya, I almost had a tear in me eye - they look so beautiful!

And don't forget to check out me suit - it is quite dapper if you don't mind me saying. I think blue is me color. Because that's what I stare at when I float on me back on the river!

Yes, it is indeed fantastic to be a duck!

Quack!

18 days and counting!

2009-03-09T08:17:00.000-07:00

So I woke up this morning quite excited about what's ahead in 18 days. I understand that me amphibious vehicles are getting their polishing, as we speak. For those of you yet to experience me "Ducks", be sure to stop by me crib later this month and I'll take ye for the ride of ye'r life! Did I mention, me Ducks go from land to water! Maybe I should change me name from Captain Henry to Captain James Bond!

Well, Times Square, Manhattan New York is the place. Again, March 27th is the date. I will have more updates soon so check back often. I will even give you a tip about where to find me, before I descend on to the crowds! And don't forget, pictures with me are a must so stop me whenever you see me!

I can't wait until March 27th!

2009-03-03T11:19:00.000-08:00

A'hoy mates! For those of ye missing me since last November, I will be making my return to me daily spectacular splashes on Friday, March 27th! So stop by the great City of New York, smack in the center on Broadway between 47th Street and 48th Streets, where I will be in me Sunday best with me beak waxed and feathers shined.

More details to follow after me afternoon nap!
