Highlights
Experience the Upper West Side through one of its most beloved treats—cookies—on a relaxed, mile-long guided walking tour that blends generous tastings with cultural and architectural history. You’ll visit a curated selection of standout bakeries, each either founded in New York City or a small, women-owned business, and sample a range of cookies that showcase different styles, techniques, and flavors. Between bites, your guide (a professional historian) will bring the Upper West Side to life, sharing stories of its food culture, architectural character, and history. This is more than a dessert tour—it’s a flavorful way to understand the neighborhood, one cookie at a time. GLUTEN FREE, VEGAN, AND DAIRY FREE OPTIONS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST TOURS MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 3 PEOPLE TO RUN

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.
