Your Itinerary
A curated journey through the experience
Harlem
Get what you want out of your experience - try globally influenced flavors as you sample some of Harlem's classic soul food dishes
Brooklyn Bridge
You could walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, maybe at night? Let us paint the picture- the moon overhead, stars reflected in the East River below- truly magical.
Bronx Museum of the Arts
Catch an exhibition or live jazz act at the Bronx Museum of the Arts- if you feel super cultured
Brooklyn
Microbreweries, prohibition brew houses and NY pizza (enough said).
Williamsburg
Spot vivid street art, sift through thrift stores, pop into impossibly cool boutiques, muse over contemporary art in a small gallery, peruse the local flea market or just kick it on a barge overlooking the Manhattan skyline.
Greenwich Village
Snack in a classic ‘mom and pop’ shops as you hear about the Italian immigrants who brought their incredible food culture with them, indulge in a freshly filled cannoli and float away into New York food heaven as you bite into classics like bagels with lox or a door-stopper sized pastrami sandwich.
Grand Central Terminal
You’ll see the iconic skyscrapers and landmarks - hello Grand Central - but the twist is, it will be through the eyes of your host. They can’t wait to share with you what they love about the area, where they hang out, and what’s good to eat and drink.
Midtown
NOTE: Entrance fees are not included and we recommend that you visit the interior of these attractions autonomously.
Meatpacking District
Whether your idea of a good time is more trendy and high-end designer shopping followed by a cocktail, dinner at the latest restaurant opening followed an evening musing over contemporary art, or bar hopping between sleek wine bars and dimly-lit cocktail joints, you’ll find it all here.
SoHo
Enjoy the famous Soho and its hidden gems just around the corner from iconic attractions, and wander its historic streets
Little Italy
We would recommend perusing the delis in Little Italy though, which have been in the same families for generations and trying a cannoli or two, then paying homage to NY’s very first pizzeria (by eating a slice, obviously).
