Murals and Mosaics of East Harlem: A Walking Tour

Murals and Mosaics of East Harlem: A Walking Tour

Guide: Leigh Hallingby @harlemwalksnyc

The many colorful murals and mosaics of East Harlem, AKA Spanish Harlem, tell us so much about the history, culture, and politics of this neighborhood and its residents. Some murals and mosiacs are dedicated to accomplished citizens of East Harlem, such as the writers Julia de Burgos and Nicholasa Mohr. Others honor world-famous people such as Che Guevara and Celia Cruz. Many of the murals and mosaics include the gorgeous scenery of the tropical islands from which so many members of this community emigrated to New York. A number of the gifted artists who created the artworks received commissions from the City of New York as part of projects to add more public art to the East Harlem community.

Featured Tour: The Art, Shenanigans and History o

Featured Tour: The Art, Shenanigans and History of the First New York City Subway System

Guide: New York Tours By Gary @newyorktoursbygary

It’s right there under your feet, you probably ride it every day, but how much do you know about this city’s amazing subway system. I will give you the secret history and inside story of the creation of the original 1904 subway line and how it grew into the most extensive transportation system in the world. All the art, all the history, all the technical breakthroughs, all the “whys” and all the shenanigans that went into this spectacular achievement. A unique experience for seasoned locals or visitors to our fair city. Get a look at the subway that few people, even lifelong New Yorkers, fail to recognize. This tour only explores the areas of the system that are open to the public but in most cases overlooked.

Featured Tour: Lost, Forgotten and Overlooked in

Featured Tour: Lost, Forgotten and Overlooked in The Bronx

Guide: Maggie Browne

Join your guide for a walking tour through the Kingsbridge/Riverdale section of the Bronx where she grew up. Her old stomping ground and Manhattan College’s neighborhood. We will check out a 110 year old bar, an Irish Football field, dessert stops – Carrot Cake and a cheesecake shop owned by a Holocaust survivor – the expansive Van Cortlandt Park and of course killer pizza. Add on a visit to Wave Hill, a hidden gem that offers sweeping views of the Hudson and Palisades Cliffs before or after my tour.

Featured Tour: Billionaires Row: Rise of the Supe

Featured Tour: Billionaires Row: Rise of the Supertalls!

Guide: Custom NYC Tours @customnyctours

This unique private tour will take you on a journey along NYC’s Billionaires Row! See the world’s tallest residential building, and learn of the plans to already de-throne it just blocks away. Stare up at the world’s thinnest skyscraper. See the building where a penthouse sold for $238 million… the highest home sale price in US history. And much more!

New York City is in the midst of a new skyscraper age, leaving icons like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building in the dust. In the last 7 years, 36 skyscrapers have popped up, all over 700 feet (213.36 meters) tall. In the entire previous century, there were 38 skyscrapers. But the biggest buildings in this age of the “supertalls” are a series of residential buildings dubbed Billionaires Row.

Buildings you will see include 220 Central Park South, the Central Park Tower, One57, 111 W 57th St, 432 Park Ave, 53W53, and more!

Learn the factors that led to this modern skyscraper boom: from economic factors, to zoning loopholes, and new building techniques. What are air rights? What is a mechanical floor, and why do they matter? On this tour, we explore not only these topics, but we also dive into the luxurious life and amenities and famous residents of these buildings. See the works of architects such as Jean Nouvel, Gregg Pasquarelli, Rafael Viñoly, and others. And we will discuss the controversies over how these buildings reflect the economic divides of 21st-century New York, as well as how they impact the neighborhoods and landmarks around them.

Since this is a private, small-group tour, you are guaranteed a personal and customized experience.
