Explore authentic New York: from Harlem to Hell’s Kitchen, Bronx and Brooklyn, discover obscure stories and legends of the Big Apple off the tourist trail.

 

EXPERIENCE:

Discover the most authentic and legendary New York on a walking tour, the kind you won’t find in guidebooks. From the alleys of Hell’s Kitchen, to the vibrant heart of Harlem, via the Bronx neighborhoods and the Al Capone-scarred streets of Brooklyn, this is the tour for those who want to explore the Big Apple’s dark and fascinating side.

The Adventure:
– Hell’s Kitchen: Begin the journey into the neighborhood made famous by Daredevil and Kingpin. Here, tales of crime and vigilantes intertwine among the skyscrapers and shadowy streets.

– Harlem: From Hell’s Kitchen we head to Harlem, the heart of the Black Renaissance. We stop at a coffee shop beloved by locals, take photos of the murals and visit the iconic Apollo Theater. Strolling through the African Market, we explore the unique flavors, smells and vibes of this legendary neighborhood.

– The Bronx: Next, the real Bronx awaits. Stop at Yankee Stadium, with a look at the baseball Hall of Fame, and visit the official Yankees store to buy the legendary cap. But the highlight is at the famous Joker stairs, where you can take photos and, if you want, replicate the famous dance from the movie.

– Brooklyn: The grand finale is in Brooklyn, where Al Capone began his criminal career and Notorious B.I.G. turned his street experiences into a rap legend. The tour ends in front of Spike Lee’s studio, a tribute to the director who made Brooklyn famous in films like Brooklyn.
