Highlights

Let's go get $1.50 pizza slices & $4 drinks in the most expensive city in the world. We will take photos in front of some famous tourist sites like Times Square & Rockefeller Plaza, and do a bit of walking in iconic midtown. This tour will give you lots of ideas & spots to go for the rest of your NYC trip! We'll meet in Bryant Park for this two hour experience. Our last stop of the tour is the cheapest bar in the neighborhood, which has a full bar, jukebox & free New York City hot dogs! As soon as you book, you'll receive a message from me with cheap spots & tips, in addition to my favorite NYC finds. It includes ways to get discount Broadway tickets! This tour will go on rain or shine-it is not all outdoors but quite a bit of it is! Wear your walking shoes & bring cash if you'd like pizza or a drink! This experience is perfect for couples, team- building, families, or single travelers!

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.
