Hunts in New York City

DUMBO & Brooklyn Heights

~80 min · 6 stops

Cross over to Brooklyn for unbeatable views of the Manhattan skyline. Walk through the cobblestone streets of DUMBO, capture iconic bridge views, stroll the waterfront park, and explore historic brownstone neighborhoods.

First stops

Time Out Market New York — Start your Brooklyn adventure near Time Out Market. Housed in the historic Empire Stores building, it brings together some of the city's best food under one roof with stunning rooftop views.
Jane's Carousel — Walk into Brooklyn Bridge Park to find Jane's Carousel. This beautifully carved 1922 merry-go-round was painstakingly restored and now operates inside a shimmering modern pavilion right on the East River.
Washington Street View — Head to the intersection of Washington and Water Streets. Here you'll find the most famous photo spot in DUMBO: a perfectly framed view of the Manhattan Bridge tower through the red brick buildings.

Lower East Side Bites

~100 min · 6 stops

Taste the immigrant history of New York in the Lower East Side. From century-old markets and iconic delis serving piled-high pastrami, to historic bakeries and the oldest continuously operating Irish tavern in the city.

First stops

Essex Market — Start at the Essex Market. For over 80 years, this indoor public market has provided fresh food to the diverse local community. Recently moved to a modern facility, it remains a bustling culinary hub.
Katz's Delicatessen — A few blocks away is Katz's Delicatessen, established in 1888. It's the ultimate Jewish deli, world-famous for its hand-carved cured beef sandwiches piled sky-high and a famous fake-orgasm scene in 'When Harry Met Sally'.
Russ & Daughters — Nearby is Russ & Daughters, an appetizing store serving smoked fish, caviar, and bagels since 1914. It was the first American business to have '& Daughters' in its name, pioneering family businesses for women.

Greenwich Village Secrets

~80 min · 6 stops

Wander the winding, tree-lined streets of Greenwich Village. Discover hidden courtyards, the city's narrowest house, a tiny locksmith coated in keys, and the historic heart of the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

First stops

Washington Square Park — Start at the iconic marble Washington Square Arch. Built in 1892 to celebrate the centennial of George Washington's inauguration, the park is a lively gathering space for musicians and artists.
MacDougal Street — Walk down MacDougal Street to Caffe Reggio, opened in 1927. It claims to have introduced a beloved frothy Italian coffee drink to America. The original shiny Italian espresso machine still sits inside this cozy, art-filled cafe.
Greenwich Locksmiths — Tucked away in the Village is Greenwich Locksmiths. It's one of the smallest shops in New York, famously known for its exterior being almost entirely covered in a mosaic made from thousands of keys.

Lower Manhattan Icons

~90 min · 6 stops

Discover the historic heart of New York City, from the tip of Manhattan at Battery Park to the towering skyscrapers of the Financial District. Walk past the Charging Bull, the solemn 9/11 Memorial, and finish near the Brooklyn Bridge.

First stops

Castle Clinton — Begin at Castle Clinton in Battery Park. Originally a circular fort built in 1811 to defend against the British, it later served as America's first immigration station before Ellis Island was established.
Charging Bull — Just up the road stands a three-ton bronze sculpture of a rearing animal, installed under the cover of night by artist Arturo Di Modica in 1989. It has since become the ultimate symbol of Wall Street's financial optimism.
Federal Hall — Federal Hall stands on Wall Street. On this site in 1789, George Washington took the oath of office as the first President of the United States. A large bronze statue of him watches over the street today.
