5th & Park - Film & Fiction Walking Tour of Carnegie Hill Along Museum Mile

Aperçu
My breezy two-hour walking tour takes you on a film & fiction adventure in Manhattan's historic Carnegie Hill neighborhood along "Museum Mile."

The walking tour meets on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum (82nd and 5th Avenue, and ends at the Guggenheim Museum (88th & 5th Avenue). We'll visit Manhattan’s Central Park, see the impressive Andrew Carnegie Mansion (a.k.a. The Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design), see the 5th Avenue mansion where Lady Gaga attended high school, and dig the French Gothic Chateau style of The Jewish Museum while checking out tons of filming locations and celebrity homes.

As a devoted fan of walking tours in NYC this one is a highlight. I will now regard Carnegie Hill as a true neighborhood, rather than a walk-through on our way to museums. Cole's knowledge of his area, along with an incredible repertory of information about the history of film making in the area, makes for a fascinating 90 minutes.

Cole Smithey is a wealth of information and gives a great tour of the beautiful Carnegie Hill area of the Upper East Side! While this tour is perfect for movie buffs, it's also a wonderful peak into old New York and highlights architecture, Central Park, multiple museums along the museum mile. You'll hear about Truman Capote, Jackie O, Marilyn Monroe, Woody Allen, and so many more...You'll see the (current and former) personal residences of many celebrities, mansions, churches, and scenes from old and new movies-- All of this while taking in the gorgeous scenery of Carnegie Hill. Cole is also very entertaining and his quick wit and engaging personality make this a must-do for a unique NYC experience.

The 5th & Park Film and Fiction walking Tour with Cole Smithey was a one of a kind, not to be missed experience! Cole is extremely informative, entertaining and an enthusiastic guide. This was my first (and hopefully not my last!) trip to NYC and this walking tour was one of the highlights. Cole's exceptional tour introduced and connected me to NYC in a special way through the mediums of film and literature that I would never have experienced without the time spent on his unique walking tour. I loved it! This tour should be on everybody's "to do list" when they visit NYC.
