Points forts

Ride the historic 42nd Street Shuttle and discover how transportation transformed Midtown Manhattan into one of the world's greatest centers of business, entertainment, and commerce. From Grand Central Terminal to Times Square, Broadway, the Diamond District, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and St. Patrick's Cathedral, you'll uncover how moving millions of people every day created billions of dollars in economic activity—and shaped the skyline we know today. You'll never look at New York's subway the same way again.

Architecture and history of Grand Central, and how prominent New Yorkers took the case to the US Supreme Court to save the building from being destroyed
Grand Central to Times Square shuttle subway ride; we will discuss the commuting pattern, NYC subway history, and its role in developing NYC culture and commerce.
Times Square, the crossroads, and its role in the expansion of population and commerce in NYC, the collapse of its quality of life, and the use of eminent domain driving it from a neighborhood to avoid to one of the leading family tourist destinations in the world.
Shubert Alley: A deadly fire forced New York to rewrite the rules for every theater built after it — and Broadway's demise along with Times Square, battled back through one long-running hit show. the alley that regulation created.
An immigrant trade built on nothing but trust turned, deals on a handshake, one block into the diamond capital of America. Walk it, and watch deals worth millions happen in plain sight.
A censored mural and a Rockefeller's refusal to back down shaped one of the most famous public spaces in the world. Stand in the plaza that fight built, where the world famous ice skating rink and tree are the center of the city for 6 weeks every year.
Faith and commerce have stared each other down on this exact corner for almost a century. Stand between them and decide which one's winning.

About New York
New York concentre gratte-ciel, musées célèbres, théâtres de Broadway et des dizaines de quartiers distincts dans cinq arrondissements actifs jour et nuit.
Manhattan est la première étape classique. Times Square scintille au-dessus du quartier des théâtres, Central Park s'étire sur des dizaines de rues entre l'Upper East Side et l'Upper West Side, et l'Empire State Building, le Chrysler Building et le Rockefeller Center dessinent la silhouette de Midtown. Plus au sud, le mémorial du 11-Septembre, Wall Street et le pont de Brooklyn sont proches les uns des autres, et des bateaux passent devant la statue de la Liberté pour gagner Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
