This tour highlights the most iconic parts of the city in a day curated to pack the maximum amount of history and architecture. The tour begins with a detailed overview history and the city's move uptown thorugh the island. Then, each neighborhood we visit comes with its own detailed explanation for why its built environment is the way it is.
From Times Square we make our way through Midtown and Fifth Avenue to Central Park discussing everything from zoning and architecture to artwork and history.
From Central Park we head downtown utilizing public transit, while walking the most famous blocks and buildings of the city, including: Herald Square, Madison Square, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy, Chinatown, the Lower East Side, City Hall, the Financial Distrcit, and the World Trade Center.
The 9/11 Memorial is our last downtown stop before catching a city commuter ferry up the Hudson River to Hudson Yards, and back to Times Square and Midtown.
