Overview
Midtown is more than just business, tourism, and big buildings.
Explore the hidden architectural details, strange stories, and world-class casual food of Midtown Manhattan in this compelling, stimulating, and delicious food tour.
The route we take changes from day, taking input from group, guide, and the city to create an experience that's memorable and unique.
While we might visit some of the bigger sites like Times Square, Bryant Park, and Grand Central Terminal, the stories we tell will go beyond the basic, diving into the deeper purpose and functions of these iconic locations.
But beyond the highlights, we'll also explore subtle details of the art, architecture and culture of Midtown, helping you see New York City with fresh eyes.
At the same time, we'll also drop by to sample good eats from 4-6 exceptional casual spots. You'll leave the tour feeling full - heart, mind, and stomach.

Itinerary
42nd Street
SAMPLE ITINERARY! Our route changes from day to day, taking input from the group, guide, and city to create a one-of-a-kind experience. BUT we always crisscross 42nd Street with all its important sites and history. THIS IS A SAMPLE ITINERARY. We take input from the group, then draw from a big bag of options to make each outing unique.
10 minutes
N/A
The only Greek spot in the area, and a family-fun institution for more than 100 years. Spanikopita, baklava, strudel? If it’s made with filo dough, they do it, and they do it better than anybody else.
10 minutes
N/A
We frequently stop at this outstanding taco joint on 9th avenue, where the music and vibes are almost as good as the tacos.
20 minutes
Rockefeller Center
Built in the 1930s, Rockefeller Center has become one of the most iconic locations in New York - but the influence of this area goes even deeper than we know. We take some time to explore the art, architecture, and true reach of Rockefeller Center.
30 minutes
St. Patrick's Cathedral
The most important and impressive Catholic Church in New York, St. Patrick's is a beautiful example of Gothic Revival architecture, and a truly impressive monument that opens the door to deeper themes of tribalism and cooperation in the history of New York. We frequently take a few minutes to step inside and stand in awe
10 minutes
N/A
Glossed over, or completely missed by most visitors to Midtown Manhattan, Vanderbilt Avenue is one of the most impressive places in the city. We often take a few minutes to slow down and look up on this short but overwhelming set of blocks.
10 minutes
Grand Central Terminal
There are many secrets in Grand Central Terminal, more than anyone can learn in a day, let alone in a 3-hour tour. But we'll share some of the most compelling stories from this world-class building.
20 minutes
N/A
While inside GCT, we often stop by Joey Bats for a delicious pastel de nata, straight from Lisbon, Portugal.
10 minutes
Tudor City
At the far end of 42nd Street is Tudor City, which looks out over the United Nations, the East River, and the ever-growing skylines of Queens and Brooklyn.
15 minutes
Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
No trip through midtown is complete without a visit to the main branch of the New York Public Library, where there's incredible 'underground' story every visitor should know.
30 minutes
Bryant Park
We often wrap up in Bryant Park, right behind the Library, a park with a rich past, present, and future.
