What to expect

1

SoHo

The meeting is taken in the heart of SoHo, with its remarkable wrought iron balconies and exterior staircases (the famous cast-iron buildings made famous by West Side Story), and its no less remarkable fashion boutiques!

2

Greenwich Village

Then towards Greenwich Village, nicknamed “The Village”, a former artistic and bohemian refuge steeped in history, with in particular a stop at Washington Square Park, a space of relaxation very popular with students of NYU but also by chess players and street artists who provide almost permanent entertainment.

3

Meatpacking District

Finally, you will walk the cobblestones of the Meatpacking District: the old slaughterhouse district has become the new trendy district of the city, the abandoned warehouses have given way to art galleries, craft markets (Gansevoort Market…) and this line aerial railway transformed into a veritable “green flow”, the marvelous High Line!

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
