Why take this tour?
Our time together begins just under the marquee at Radio City Music Hall where your guide, an expert in storytelling and pop culture, will begin to point out the famed sites and stories that surround you. A lot of these places will feel familiar - like the skating rink at Rockefeller Center, that's right - we're headed to 30 Rock! We will visit the Channel Gardens, before heading to NYC Studios to take a peek through the windows, as seen on the Today Show! We will turn onto Fifth Avenue for a sophisticated stroll past Saks Fifth Avenue and pause at the reverent St. Patrick's Cathedral. Heading down Library Way, it's time to do some shoegazing! Below our feet are brass inscriptions of the world's literary giants. We have reached the NY Public Library and we offer all to take a picture with Patience and Fortitude, NY Public Library's majestic pair of marble lions.
As we pass, an iconic attraction awaits! Take in the towering Chrysler Building before heading into the pantheon of transportation - Grand Central Station. Here you will gaze up towards the celestial ceiling with the open heavens recreated in stunning detail. Follow your guide through the station's main hall to visit some, "I've seen that on TV!" spots like the famed brass clock atop the main Grand Central Terminal Information Booth, and then take a visit to the Whispering Wall to experience firsthand its odd secrets.
As your time together nears its end, your guide will lead you to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. An experience like no other, you'll find a multi-sensory, immersive, and view-filled wonder of modern design. See New York, and Manhattan, with a unique perspective on this tour, and leave feeling connected to The Big Apple in a whole new way.
