Highlights
NO Mafia cases, no ghosts -- We will visit the locations of 3 bizarre and mysterious murders from the "gritty city" era (1980s + 1990s) of New York City. One of the cases is unsolved - we will discuss various theories and attempt to solve the case. The other 2 cases - though technically "solved" - left many tangled strands that have never been fully untangled. If you enjoy true crime cases that get you "hooked" - this is your tour. If you're interested in the gritty/sleazy/strange REAL New York City of the 1980s and 1990s - this is your tour. If you like true crime podcasts + books + documentaries - then you will LOVE this tour! Location -- we will walk through the lower half of Central Park, and then take a brief city bus ride to the edge of Times Square. Guide -- your tour guide (Eddie) is NYC's leading true crime historian. He has collaborated with The New York Times and Oxygen TV/NBC Television regarding true crime.

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.
