Highlights
Did you know that the New York Public Library Main Branch is a prime example of Gilded Age architecture, and Grand Central Terminal is widely regarded as a quintessential Gilded Age building? While almost all the interiors of the Fifth Avenue Gilded Age mansions are off-limits, this tour takes you inside these two magnificent New York City icons. We’ll also stop by the opulent J.P. Morgan House (now the Morgan Library & Museum), the grand Joseph Raphael De Lamar House (now the Polish Consulate General), and the distinctive James F.D. Lanier House (now for sale at $17.5 million). As we stroll along these institutions and mansions, feeling their awe, we’ll also sample flavors that break every old law of Gilded Age stuffiness by tasting delicious Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Thai delights, such as onigiri, kimbap, dumplings, satay, and more. Walk with a local New Yorker and explore!

About New York City
New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.
Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
