Explore authentic New York: from Harlem to Hell's Kitchen, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, discover dark stories and legends of the Big Apple away from the tourist routes.
 

Discover the most authentic and legendary New York in a walking tour, the one you won’t find in tourist guides. From the alleys of Hell’s Kitchen to the vibrant heart of Harlem, through the neighborhoods of the Bronx and the streets marked by Al Capone in Brooklyn, this is the tour for those who want to explore the dark and fascinating side of the Big Apple.

The Adventure:Hell’s Kitchen: Begin the journey in the neighborhood made famous by Daredevil and Kingpin. Here, stories of crime and vigilantes intertwine between the skyscrapers and shadowy streets.
Harlem: From Hell’s Kitchen, we head to Harlem, the heart of the Black Renaissance. We stop at a local favorite coffee shop, snap photos of murals, and visit the iconic Apollo Theater. Strolling through the African market, we’ll explore the unique flavors, smells, and vibes of this legendary neighborhood.
The Bronx: Next, the real Bronx awaits. We stop at Yankee Stadium, with a glimpse of the Baseball Hall of Fame, and visit the official Yankees store to purchase the legendary cap. But the highlight is the famous Joker stairs, where you can take photos and, if you wish, replicate the iconic dance from the film.
Brooklyn: The grand finale is in Brooklyn, where Al Capone began his criminal career, and Notorious B.I.G. turned his street experiences into rap legend. The tour ends in front of Spike Lee’s studio, a tribute to the director who made Brooklyn famous in films like Crooklyn.
