There is a restroom on the bus and there is normally a stop for people to go to the restroom or get a snack.

The bus should arrive in NY around Noon at 430 7th Ave and 34th St (near Foot Action store) and the B&H Photo-Video-Pro Audio store (420 9th Avenue, NY) is only two blocks from our bus drop off point.
