Unique, offbeat and awe inspiring walking tours of New York City. The Beatnik Village, Pocket Parks of Midtown, Ragtime & Robber Barons plus much more.
Here are just of a few of the tours we offer-
Beatnik Greenwich Village. All cool cats and kittens are invited to roam the same streets as Jack Kerouac, Alan Ginsburg and friends. Feel free to bring your bongos, berets and poetry
Mad Mod Midtown - Explore New York's best example of Mid-century architecture and design. Plus we will check out some of the favorite watering holes and playpens of the cigarette and martini brigade.
East Village Underground - The East Village wasn't always a trendy neighborhood. It was once the home of socialists, anarchists and the avant-garde. Not to mention Punks, beats and hippies. Brothers and sisters sign up now for the revolution.
Coffee Buzz - Pub crawls are so last century. Introducing the coffee crawl. We visit some of downtown Manhattan's best coffee spots talking and walking faster and faster as we go along. Sightseeing commentary and bathroom stops included.
Marvel Superhero Midtown - The Marvel universe doesn't take place in made up Gotham or Metropolis. Most of the action happens right here in Manhattan. See the Baxter building, the Daily Bugle and many of the places Hulk smashed.
Lies of Manhattan. Learn all about Teddy Roosevelt single single-handedly thrashing an invasion of steam punk Extraterrestrials, Emma Goldman's romance with Babe Ruth, Alexander Hamilton's famous tenor performance in Mozart's The Golden Flute. Remember, nothing we tell you on this tour is true.
Most tours begin at 1PM Saturday and Sunday and last about two hours.
Each tour is $50 per person.
