Highlights

Greenwich Village - Its name originates from Groenwijck, Dutch for “Green District.” In the 20th century, Greenwich Village was renowned as an artists’ haven, the bohemian capital, the birthplace of the modern LGBT movement, and the East Coast origin of both the Beat Generation and the 1960s counterculture. Greenwich Village includes Washington Square Park and two of New York City’s private colleges, New York University (NYU) and The New School. In recent years, it has been linked with hipsters.
SoHo - The name “SoHo” comes from the area being “South of Houston Street,” a term coined in 1962 by Chester Rapkin, an urban planner and author of The South Houston Industrial Area study, also known as the “Rapkin Report.” The name also evokes Soho, a district in London’s West End. Almost all of SoHo is part of the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District, designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973, extended in 2010, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978. It covers 26 blocks and approximately 500 buildings, many featuring cast-iron architectural elements. Many side streets in the district are paved with Belgian blocks.
TriBeCa - The neighborhood started as farmland, then became a residential area in the early 19th century, later evolving into a mercantile zone focused on produce, dry goods, and textiles, before transitioning to artists and then actors, models, entrepreneurs, and other celebrities. The neighborhood hosts the TriBeCa Festival, created in response to the September 11 attacks to revitalize the neighborhood and downtown after the destruction caused by the terrorist attacks.
One World Trade Center - One World Trade Center, also known as One World Trade, One WTC, and initially called the Freedom Tower during its planning stages, is the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City.
Statue of Liberty View Point - For an unforgettable view of the statue and Ellis Island, The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park) is ideal. Located on the southern tip of Lower Manhattan, it offers fantastic views of the New York Harbor, Governor’s Island, Brooklyn, the New Jersey Shore, and the Verrazano Bridge.
Financial District - Also known as FiDi, this neighborhood is situated on the southern tip of Manhattan. It is bordered by the West Side Highway to the west, Chambers Street and City Hall Park to the north, Brooklyn Bridge to the northeast, the East River to the southeast, and South Ferry and the Battery to the south. New York was established in the modern-day Financial District in 1624, and the neighborhood roughly coincides with the boundaries of the New Amsterdam settlement in the late 17th century. The district includes the offices and headquarters of many of the city’s major financial institutions, such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Anchored on Wall Street, the Financial District has led New York City to be recognized as both the leading financial center and the most economically powerful city in the world, with the New York Stock Exchange being the world’s largest stock exchange.
Brooklyn Bridge - Experience riding over one of the world’s most iconic suspension bridges, which first opened in 1883.
Brooklyn Heights Promenade - The Brooklyn Heights Promenade, also known as the Esplanade, is a 1,826-foot (557 m)-long platform and pedestrian walkway cantilevered over the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (Interstate 278) in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, New York City, United States. Offering views of Lower Manhattan’s skyline and the New York Harbor, it was a result of competing proposals for the highway’s route resolved during World War II. Construction took place after the war. As a structure built over a roadway, the Promenade is owned by the NYC DOT and is not considered a park; however, NYC Parks maintains the entire Promenade.
Manhattan Bridge - Proposed in 1898 and initially called “Bridge No. 3,” it was renamed the Manhattan Bridge in 1902. The foundations for the bridge’s suspension towers were completed in 1904, followed by the anchorages in 1907 and the towers in 1908. The Manhattan Bridge opened to traffic on December 31, 1909, and began carrying streetcars in 1912 and New York City Subway trains in 1915. The eastern upper-deck roadway was added in 1922. After streetcars ceased operation in 1929, the western upper roadway was completed two years later.
Chinatown - Manhattan’s Chinatown is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City, bordering the Lower East Side to the east, Little Italy to the north, Civic Center to the south, and Tribeca to the west. With an estimated population of 90,000 to 100,000 people, Chinatown has the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere. It is also one of the oldest Chinese ethnic enclaves. Manhattan’s Chinatown is one of nine Chinatown neighborhoods in New York City and one of twelve in the New York metropolitan area, which has the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, estimated at 893,697 individuals as of 2017.
Little Italy - Little Italy is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City, known for its Italian community. It is bordered by Tribeca and Soho to the west, Chinatown to the south, the Bowery and Lower East Side to the east, and Nolita to the north.

Totally Amazing and Very Highly Recommended - What can I say but Totally amazing. We first did the car tour with Issac back in 2015 and it was just fantastic, all thanks to Issac and his knowledge. We seen places, streets, buildings that we wouldnt have seen if we had just been out walking. May 2022 we are back in New York again this time with 2 grown up sons. First trip to book was with Issac. Yet again Issacs personality, knowledge, made the tour just as amazing as the first time. We loved it every bit as much, we laughed and took so many wonderful pictures. The boys have said that Issacs tour was the total highlight of being in New York. Thank you once again for an amazing tour.. If you are thinking about doing this tour, dont think about it just fit it in and book it.
