What To Expect

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

Roam around this hip(ster) spot, seeing what there is to see, eating what there is to eat and shopping what there is to shop. Head’s up, there’s a lot of all of the above. 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

If you’ve ever wondered what New York tastes like, you’ll find out on in Greenwich Village. You’ll could on the dishes that are close to every New Yorker’s heart, from warm-from-the-oven choc’ chip cookies to creamy New York cheesecake, to Sicilian-style arancini - decadent bites of fried rice stuffed with dreamy combos like Bolognese sauce and melted cheese. 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

From Times Square to Rockefeller to the Empire State, there are more New York landmarks here per square metre than anywhere else in the city (probably, we haven’t had this fact independently verified…) and your host can’t wait to show them to you! NOTE: Entrance fees are not included and we recommend that you visit the interior of these attractions autonomously.

Meatpacking District

Dimly lit cocktail bars, gallery openings, flagship designer stores and ultra-cool restaurants. 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).

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Additional Info
