Get ready for the ultimate New York City adventure! This action-packed experience will make you fall in love with NYC all over again.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Buckle up for the ultimate New York City escapade! Starting off at the beautiful St. Thomas Church, your local host is ready to whisk you away on a whirlwind adventure through some of my favorite spots in NYC. So, let's dive in!
From its towering heights to the bustling energy of the plaza below, Rockefeller Center is a must-see destination. Picture yourself surrounded by the Art Deco splendor, feeling the pulse of the city as you take in the breathtaking sights. While you won't be venturing inside, the exterior alone is a testament to the era’s architectural brilliance.
Next, get ready to be dazzled by the legendary Radio City Music Hall! This iconic Art Deco masterpiece has graced countless silver screens and television shows, making it a true Hollywood star. Your host will capture your moment in the spotlight with a photo outside this world-famous venue. Immerse yourself in the glamour and history of this entertainment mecca, even if just from the outside. You'll leave feeling like a star yourself!
Next, brace yourself for the grandeur of Grand Central Terminal. This isn't just a train station – it's a celestial wonder with its sky-themed ceiling and intricate design. I love to listen to the sounds around me - if it's quiet enough, you might hear the Whispering Gallery.
Your journey continues with the dazzling lights and non-stop action of Times Square. Get your cameras ready because this spot is all about the big screens, the neon lights, and the electric atmosphere that screams "New York!"
Then, it's time for a shopping spree at the colossal Macy's. Step inside or marvel at its sheer size from the outside. I love buying some souvenirs here to take home. As you emerge, look up to see the mighty Empire State Building towering above, a true testament to NYC's architectural prowess.
Off to the futuristic Vessel at Hudson Yards! This honeycomb-shaped architectural wonder is a true NYC icon. Imagine standing in awe of its intricate design as you capture the perfect photo. While you won't be climbing its heights this time, trust me, the view from the ground is just as captivating. After soaking in the Vessel's magic, you'll stroll along the High Line, an elevated oasis where you can relax, enjoy the city skyline, and feel a world away from the bustling streets below.
TV fans, rejoice! You'll head to the picturesque West Village to see Carrie Bradshaw's apartment from "Sex and the City" and then over to the iconic Friends Apartment Building. Snap some pics from the outside and relive your favorite moments.
Feeling peckish? Joe's Pizza is calling your name. Grab a classic New York slice – thin, crispy, and oh-so-delicious. It's the perfect mid-adventure snack.
Next, chill out in Washington Square Park. The famous arch and vibrant scene make it an ideal spot for a quick rest and some people-watching. Then, you're off to SoHo, where trendy boutiques and artistic flair await.
From here, it's a quick subway ride to City Hall, leading you to the magnificent Brooklyn Bridge. Walking across this architectural marvel, you'll get killer views of the Manhattan skyline. It's Insta-worthy from every angle.
And the grand finale? The charming streets of DUMBO. Cobblestones, historic warehouses, and unbeatable views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan – it's the perfect end to a perfect day.
Your local host will pepper the journey with insider stories, quirky facts, and hidden gems, making sure you experience NYC like a true local. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, this adventure is all about discovering the magic of New York City.
I hope you have the time of your life on this Big Apple adventure, and remember to take lots of photos!

Ross was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He listened to what we wanted to see and made sure we packed it all in - even though it rained much of the time! We came prepared. Ross was an excellent and very helpful communicator prior to our meet up as well. Highly recommend!
