Travel the Top Choice Neighborhoods in NYC & DC Embrace Authentic Local Experiences
The Origin of New York – Lower Manhattan New York traces its rich history to Lower Manhattan, the meeting point of the Hudson River and the East River. Originally, New York City began as a small Dutch settlement in what is now known as Lower Manhattan. The now well-known Broadway was nothing but a small road. Back in 1653, Wall Street actually had a wall to protect the settlers from attacks. As the city grew, so did the nation. New York was the first capital of the United States and the spot where George Washington was inaugurated. Over the years, Lower Manhattan has become the financial capital of the world. Today, the streets are teeming with people and filled with stories of New York’s past, present, and future. As you explore Lower Manhattan with a history-savvy tour guide, you will see the 9/11 Memorial, St. Paul’s Chapel, Battery Park, Fraunces Tavern and Trinity Church while learning about the history of the Native Americans, Dutch, and English.
A Cultural Promenade
Through Little Italy & Chinatown
There are numerous ethnic groups in New York City,
but only two have neighborhoods named after
them: one is Little Italy, and the other is Chinatown.
Little Italy was formed in the late 1800s as millions of
Italian immigrants streamed into the United States.
Although nowadays you do not hear much Italian
on the street, there are still old school establishments
that carry on the traditions. Chinatown on the other
hand is still growing and when you enter it, it is like
being transported to another country. All the signs
are in Chinese, the languages spoken are all dialects
of Chinese, the produce and food shops sell many
items you will not recognize.
You can join our tour guide on this cultural
promenade and walk the neighborhood including
Mulberry Street, Mott Street, Canal Street, Five
Points, Mahayana Buddhist Temple, Columbus Park,
Chatham Square, and First Shearith Israel Graveyard.
You will find out what is below the surface that
makes both these neighborhoods even more unique
and intriguing.
Harlem Yesterday & Today
Almost a city unto itself, Harlem is one of the most
famous neighborhoods in the world. Founded by
the Dutch in 1658, Harlem was once farmland
and the first US home of hundreds of thousands
of European immigrants. Being the center of New
York City’s African American culture, Harlem is a
diverse neighborhood with a vibrant and influential
history.
On the fully guided private tour, you will explore
the changing face of Harlem, with special focus
on the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s,
which is a literary, music, drama, and art revival in
Harlem. The Renaissance period cultivated and
nurtured the talents of great jazz musicians like
Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway, and authors
such as Zora Neale Hurston and W.E.B. Du Bois.
On the excursion, you will experience attractions
such as The Apollo Theatre, The Cathedral Church
of St. John the Divine and the busy 125th street.
Along the way you will also see: Cotton Club,
National Jazz Museum, Marcus Garvey Park, Red
Rooster, and The Hamilton Grange.
A Bronx Tale & Food Tasting in the Real Little Italy The Bronx is a borough that still surprises even native New Yorkers. Most notably known for its world-famous baseball team, the Bronx also has beaches, a New England fishing village, a globally recognized zoo, a botanical garden, and countless historic sites. Over the years, it has been home to Tony Curtis, Anne Bancroft, Edgar Allen Poe, Colin Powell, and Ralph Lauren, as well as the many different immigrant groups that have shaped the borough. Step into the Bronx, you will weave yourselves into yet another thread of the fabric of New York. While you are in the Bronx, you can’t miss a visit to the “real Little Italy” - the Belmont section of the Bronx along Arthur Avenue where many Italian immigrants settled after building the Bronx Zoo. A proud Bronx resident will take you to some of her most cherished spots to taste some of the best authentic Italian treats available in New York. You will see the ribbons of fresh pasta, warm, fresh mozzarella being made before your eyes, and cigars being rolled by hand. You’ll munch on cheese, sweet cannoli, and many more delicious tastings!
