New York City

Neighborhood Food Tours
Treat your tastebuds to a culinary adventure with walking tours through New York City’s most ethnic neighborhoods. Experience food tastings from one-of-a-kind specialty food shops and ethnic eateries as well as an off-the-beaten-path glimpse of the city’s history, culture, architecture, entertainment offerings, and neighborhood restaurants.

Trapeze School
Have you ever wanted to join the circus? Well now is your chance! As featured on 'Sex and The City,' you can spend a day flying trapeze along the Hudson. Unforgettable, Yes!

Horseback Riding
Rent a horse and explore the three bridle paths of Central Park. You can also ride through the wooded trails of Bronx Pelham Bay Park, the miles of trails in the Bronx's Van Cortland Park, the equestrian trails of Forest Park in Queens, or along the bridle path in Prospect Park.

New Explorations of the Subway Renaissance
NYC Transit devotes 1% of every renovation contract to art, making the agency a Medici of metal and mosaics. Works ranging from the abstract to the figurative to the historic -- several of them by world-famous artists -- highlight scores of stations throughout the system. Enjoy the rich variety of transit art, including six rescued terra cotta murals, a stained-glass alphabet, a station that’s become truly an eye-full.

The Soul of Uptown
A renaissance is sweeping the "capital of Black America," bringing restoration of its glorious townhouses, new life to its vibrant religious communities, and a range of new shops, restaurants, and theatres to delight residents and visitors alike. Visitors can see the homes of prominent African-Americans, the legendary Apollo Theatre, important centers of black art and literature, and more. Historic sites include Manhattan's largest private home, where George Washington did sleep and Alexander Hamilton's summer house.
