What To Expect

Roosevelt Island

We will begin our visit by riding the elevated tram while enjoying the wonderful views of the City and the East River. The Tram will take us to Roosevelt Island which is located on the East River between Manhattan and Queens. On a pedestrian tour of the island, we will enjoy the views of Manhattan and see the new Cornell University technology campus.

Queens

From here we will take the subway a few stops to the “Little India” neighborhood. The surrounding blocks are the heart of a large South Asian neighborhood where Indians, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis live and come to shop and eat. It's the place for some of the highest quality Indian food in New York City; South Asian jewelry, clothes and music; Bollywood films; and plain old people-watching.

Flushing Meadows Corona Park

After this stop, we will continue towards Flushing Meadows Corona Park where the 1964 World's Fair was celebrated. Here we will visit the Queens Museum and see an intricate model of Manhattan, updated constantly to reflect the ever-evolving streetscapes.

Bronx

On the way to the Bronx, we will pass by Louis Armstrong's home. Queens was the epicenter of jazz in the 1940s. Jazz greats such as Louis Armstrong, Count Basie and Ella Fitzgerald found refuge from segregation in the mixed communities of the district, while a younger generation - Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie and others developed bebop in clubs in Harlem.

Yankee Stadium

We will continue towards the South Bronx, home of Yankee Stadium. We will drive through the Bronx streets where hip hop was born in the 1970s and our New York Insider will explore its history and the impact it had not only in NYC but the world.

Arthur Avenue Retail Market

Next, we will stop at Arthur Avenue, the “Little Italy” of the Bronx. Here we will take a stroll to browse some of the Italian stores and taste some amazing Italian specialty foods.
