What To Expect

Begin in Soho, which is known for its architecture, cafes and restaurants, and shops. Hear how Soho became one of the city's trendiest and most expensive neighborhoods for real estate as you stroll down Greene Street, and see architectural gems such as the Haughwout Building and the Old Police Station. 

Make a quick stop in Nolita to taste a classic cheesecake, then continue into Little Italy for Italian favorites such as pizza, cannoli, and gelato. You'll also get tips on good spots on Mulberry Street.

Pass the Manhattan Bridge as you walk into the heart of Chinatown. Stop at the Mahayana Buddhist Temple to see a huge Golden Buddha statue, and stroll down Doyer Street as your guide details how the neighborhood has changed over the decades. Sample a traditional dumpling and the goodies at The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, and learn about the Five Points neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, which was an infamous slum in the 1800s.

Judy_H, Jun 2023
We did not get to soho in time because of the pride parade. Took us 2 hours to get there. They tour guide was upset with us because they said we did not communicate with them the right way. Talked to him once and the driver told us we should be there in 15 minutes. Took another 30. The tour guide left before we got there. I tried to cancel because I knee we was not going to make it. They said I canceled due to weather if so that was a mistake. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I hope that we can get some of the money back. I understand that his time was worth something. Thanks Judy Hren
