  • The visit will indeed reserve many surprises for you, off the beaten track. On the program: a haunted house, a river hidden under your feet, transparent sidewalks, the smallest lot in New York or a hidden movie theater … And many other curiosities await you in a charming setting.

How does the guided tour of the 4 neighborhoods take place?

Your guide will meet you in a café then you will set off on foot to storm the streets. Here is a little preview of what awaits you, without revealing everything of course …

NoHo: the cradle of new trends

  • NoHo is one of the birthplaces of new trends from New York and the world. We will start the visit with the amazing Mosaic Trail, an urban mosaic trail created since the 1980s by a New York activist. We will then continue through the north of Little Italy, nicknamed Nolita. Along the way, we will show you this slide hidden in the temple of pop-up stores but also the major universities and cultural institutions of the district. Creativity on every street corner!

Nolita, the old Little Italy is transformed!

  • Famous American director Martin Scorcese lived here and the biggest stars have made Nolita their neighborhood. At the corner of a charming garden decorated with antiques, New York’s first pizzeria will remind you of the Italian roots of this neighborhood. This will be the opportunity to tell you a number of anecdotes about the catacombs and the Mafia of yesterday… and today. This district little known to tourists gives Nolita a little secret. Andiamo!

SoHo, a meteoric rise since the 2000s

  • Laboratory of urban evolution, SoHo is a nugget with a rich history. Alongside its fashion boutiques, your French-speaking guide will reveal many curiosities: architecture, artists’ studios and even old brothels. Without forgetting the imprint of Yoko Ono, the wife of John Lennon, the former Beatles. Many surprises to discover in this district which has become the favorite setting for influencers on Instagram. Perhaps we will meet a former owner of a clandestine bar who will tell you about celebrities who are a little too bent on drinking?

Greenwich Village : jazz, Sex and the city et Gay Pride

  • Greenwich Village is the temple of New York bohemianism. This former hippie district in the 1970s is today the home of young dynamic executives with strong purchasing power. You will also find key places of the birth of the movement for equal rights for homosexuals as well as prestigious clubs, landmarks of legendary musicians such as Bob Dylan, John Baez and Janis Joplin. The anecdotes will take on a musical accent!
