Hoogtepunten
New York wasn't always the city the world fell in love with. In the 1970s and 1980s, Midtown was struggling with financial collapse, rising crime, and a fading reputation. Today, it's one of the world's safest and most visited urban centers. Walk from Grand Central Terminal to Bryant Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and St. Patrick's Cathedral as you uncover the people, bold decisions, and unlikely partnerships behind one of history's greatest urban comebacks. Who saved New York? By the end of this tour, you'll have your answer. Led by a licensed NYC guide and lifelong New Yorker.

Route
We will see how this magnificent building rebounded from tragedy and reinvented NYC, and how the Supreme Court and a former first lady prevented the wrecking ball from destroying it.
A former reservoir and site of a tragic fire faced closure and came back and still stands as the largest research library on NYC and remains one of NYC's most iconic buildings today.
A daily 1970s and 1980s crime scene, Bryant Park transitioned from urban blight that New Yorkers walked around to become the proof or urban renewals and a definitive blueprint for modern public spaces.
Once one of the most dangerous blocks in the city, learn how NY's used eminent domain to chase out career criminals, to turn this area from the hub of urban vice into the Crossroads of the Universe, one the the leading global family destinations.
The decline of NY included the decline of Broadway that turned around right here, at the Shubert Theater, located at Shubert Alley. Hear how one magical show lead Broadway's comeback, where it remained New York's largest commercial tourist attraction today.
Globally recognized home of the Rockette's beat back its demise with the performers leading the resistance to their closing. JUST BARELY!
Unable to pay its mortgage, Rockefeller Center emerged from bankruptcy three decades ago and is the globally recognized home of the Christmas tree and ice skating rink that people from all over the world love, adjacent to the beautiful windows of Saks and the grand St Patrick's Cathedral. How close did they come to collapse?
As New York was nearing collapse, this magnificent house of worship was a source of hope. Since New York was saved, this building has gone through a major renovation, to last many decades and remains where faith and commerce face off daily.

About New York City
New York City bundelt wolkenkrabbers, beroemde musea, Broadway en tientallen eigen buurten in vijf stadsdelen die dag en nacht zoemen.
Manhattan is de klassieke eerste stop. Times Square gloeit boven het theaterdistrict, Central Park strekt zich over tientallen blokken uit tussen de Upper East en Upper West Side, en het Empire State Building, het Chrysler Building en Rockefeller Center bepalen de skyline van Midtown. In Lower Manhattan liggen het 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street en de Brooklyn Bridge dicht bij elkaar, en vanaf de kade varen boten langs het Vrijheidsbeeld naar Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
