Grand Central & Times Square Walking Tour

This walking tour takes Times Square travel to new heights as you uncover the magic of one of the most famous neighborhoods in New York City.

Forty Second Street became synonymous with Broadway theater more than a century ago, but the street actually houses many of New York’s most fascinating institutions.

We'll enter New York's most elegant park, learn just how complicated it is to check out a book at the New York Public Library, and visit some of the most exclusive private clubs in the city.

Tour Tidbits

We'll check out the work of an amorous architect whose lust cost him his life.

You'll learn about a wily billionaire who enriched himself at the United Nation's expense.

And we'll hear of a Broadway producer who incorporated dramatic odors into his plays.

Do chorus girls really marry millionaires? Can diplomats get away with murder? Why does the city celebrate the New Year by dropping a lighted ball?
