New York City — page 3

In the Great Women of Greenwich Village tour we will get to know one of the most interesting neighborhoods in the city, and see how it became the perfect grounds for women who changed our lives forever

On the tour we will understand how natural the park itself is, how it happened to be spread over such a large area in the heart of one of the most expensive and crowded cities in the world, what actually makes it such a famous place, and why it is truly a paradise in the heart of the most crowded and urban city.

The south tip of Manhattan is one of the must-see neighborhoods during a trip to New York. Heavily affected by the September 11, 2001 attacks, the neighbourhood changed dramatically with new businesses, hotels and schools. 400 years of History at your fingertips. From the old New Amsterdam, to the British colony followed by the first independant New Yorkers. From Peter Minuit to George Hamilton, Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton to Larry Silverstein, key actors will come along the way for this passionate deep dive into New York City’s history and fun facts !

During a 3-hour tour, you will step into the shoes of the first settlers of New Amsterdam, then the financial tycoons, like J.P. Morgan. It's a great way to appreciate the evolution of this iconic new York city. From a modest harbour to the current financial center, New York City was able to adapt and grow.

Come explore Uptown Manhattan! From the beautiful Art Deco residential building to Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters. We will visit the Little Dominican area, that inspired Lin-Manuela Miranda’s “In The Heights” Broadway musical and movie.

Hello ! I am Laurène, and I invite you to visit the southern part of Manhattan, one of the 5 boroughs of New York, renowned for its rich history and architecture.
We will walk in different neighborhoods (Battery Park, South street seaport, Wall street, World Trade Center ...). While respecting the rhythm of each one, we will go back in time, from the occupation to the origin of the Indians (which one called Lenape "authentic men") before the 17th century, to the modern and financial era of the 21st century through the successive Dutch and English colonies.

We’ll walk the streets of Little Italy, absorbing the sights, the sounds, and the tastes of this colorful neighborhood rich with a triumphant, if occasionally bloody, history. Explore Mulberry Street, with its rich aromas of pasta and pastry wafting from nearly every storefront. Discover the spot where a legendary mafia assassination took place, or just take a moment to sample some cannoli.

New York is a city of immigrants, everyone knows that. A collection of smells, colors, sounds and faces from all over the world together create one of the busiest and most intriguing cities in the United States.

On the tour, we will explore three important downtown neighborhoods from the Downtown area of Manhattan – Chinatown, the Lower East Side and Nolita.
