What to expect

1

Lower East Side

The Lower East Side has fueled the storylines of films as famous as Gangs of New York and Once Upon a Time in America. It is to the origins of the city, to the history of immigrants, the Mafia and prohibition, but also to the challenges of urbanization and living together that the guided tour of this district invites you. Today's Lower East Side will delight both art lovers (street art and art galleries have proliferated in recent years) and those looking for great restaurants and bars in the area.

2

Chinatown

Chinatown will immerse you in an atmosphere with radically different codes, with many shops (early, fishmongers ...), small workshops ... or Columbus Park, the former site of Five Points, where locals go today hui to wander, play xianqui (chess Chinese) or practice tai chi chuan ...

3

Little Italy

Finally, and even though its surface area has shrunk, Little Italy remains the historic district of the Italian community. Mulberry Street is home to a large number of restaurants and delicatessens. This iconic street proudly displays the colors of Italy and hosts the festivities of San Gennaro every year.

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