End point varies, but usually at or near Rockefeller Center.
-
Bryant ParkWe often wrap up in Bryant Park, right behind the Library, a park with a rich past, present, and future.
-
Our first food stop is usually Zucker's Bagels, where what we order ties together the people, work, and culture that built Midtown Manhattan.
-
New York Public LibraryBuilt on the remains of an old Croton reservoir, the Main Branch of the New York Public Library's not just a beautiful building, it's also a symbol of the city's civic intent.
-
We'll grab a slice at Upside before heading east towards The News Building.
-
Park AvenueWe'll stop and admire the glory of Grand Central from a few blocks south.
-
If the line isn't too long, we'll grab a taco at Tacos No. 1.
-
Grand Central TerminalThere are many secrets in Grand Central Terminal, more than anyone can learn in a day, let alone in a 3-hour tour. But we'll share some of the most compelling stories from this world-class building.
-
While inside GCT, we often stop by Joey Bats for a delicious pastel de nata, straight from Lisbon, Portugal.
-
Glossed over, or completely missed by most visitors to Midtown Manhattan, Vanderbilt Avenue is one of the most impressive places in the city. We often take a few minutes to slow down and look up on this short but overwhelming set of blocks.
-
St. Patrick's CathedralThe most important and impressive Catholic Church in New York, St. Patrick's is a beautiful example of Gothic Revival architecture, and a truly impressive monument that opens the door to deeper themes of tribalism and cooperation in the history of New York. We frequently take a few minutes to step inside and stand in awe
-
Rockefeller CenterBuilt in the 1930s, Rockefeller Center has become one of the most iconic locations in New York - but the influence of this area goes even deeper than we know. We take some time to explore the art, architecture, and true reach of Rockefeller Center.
