Activity Description
Here's an opportunity to see virtually all the most famous and fascinating areas of Manhattan's lower half during a single six-hour jaunt.
- We begin in the always-evolving Times Square area, then take in three other notable squares (Herald, Madison and Union) along Broadway. They're all historic – and all quite different in character.
- We'll wander along several of the West Village's most interesting side streets, then walk through Soho's trendiest shopping precincts.
- After a look at Little Italy and Tribeca, we'll explore the Financial District, Chinatown, the Lower East Side and the East Village.
- Finally, after checking out two of the city's most awe-inspiring spaces – Grand Central Terminal and the New York Public Library's main branch – we'll finish with a visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral and Rockefeller Center.
How is it possible to experience so much of Manhattan in such a short time? It's because we're traveling from one neighborhood to another by subway or bus, whenever it's possible to save both steps and minutes.
Best of all, you'll experience these neighborhoods in a far more vivid and intimate way than any double-decker bus ride could ever offer.
Each participant will receive a detailed list of the most prominent sites visited; printed suggestions on good neighborhood restaurants; and information of other worthwhile New York attractions they might not discover on their own.
What Is Not Included?
Tour participants pay their own food and beverage costs, of course – and are encouraged to purchase their own all-day subway/bus passes before the tour begins.
Meeting Location:
Times Square (New York, NY)
