Overview

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 area 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 city centre utilising 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 Centre.

The 9/11 Memorial is our last city centre stop before catching a city commuter ferry up the Hudson River to Hudson Yards, and back to Times Square and Midtown.

Activity itinerary

Times Square / Theater District

The theatre district is a unique feature of New York's built enviornment, it is something of a miracle the Broadway theatres have survived as they did (thanks to the Shubert Trust). In addition to tonnes of other hiostry, we learn the evolution of the area from the horse and carraige trade to an evolving distrcit of entertainment from vaudeville to silent films, and eventially radio and televison...nothing short of the history of American commercial culture. We walk only a few blocks to the Midtown Business distrcit of commercial business.

Midtown

We make our way stealthily through Midtown's underground passages and corportate lobbies of amazing art while passing some of the best examples of Modern and post-Modern architecture. Guests are free to stop for snacks, meals and/or breaks thorughout the tour.

Central Park

We can see the Park for 15 minutes or and hour, depending on the guest.

Herald Square

We take the subway to Herald Square, Macy's and the Empire State Building. We walk down Broadway towards Madison Square learning the hisotry of the old Tenderloin (the redlihgt distrcit), the former theatre distrcit and Tin Pan Alley. As we near Madsion Square we approach New York's Gilded Age city centre of Madison Square.

Madison Square Park

We learn the stunning history of the area and the emergence of the Gilded Age, the Industrial Era, electricity and the telephone. We learn the reason for the architecture and the social cultures they reflect.

Greenwich Village

Washington Square Park (Pass by)

We walk through NYU territory and see New Yorkers as they in one of the most iconic parks in history.

SoHo

The cast iron buildings of SoHo are spectacular and unique as a business district for its size. Here you'll come to understand that there was a different sense to business, and what a commerical building should like. Broadway has its own history in this part of town.

Little Italy (Pass by)

We pass thorugh Little Italy which is almost an enclave in Chinatown.

Chinatown

The tenements of Chinatown have a history that in many ways can desribe life in all of the Lower East Side, only the faces of the different immigrant groups who passed through changed. Chinatown is the longest surviving group in the area of New York's iconic immigrant waves.

One World Trade Center

We can spend as much time as desired athte 9/11 Memorial.

Hudson Yards

Hudson Yards and a subway ride is one way to return to Times Square, or we could take the free bus.
