    Self-Guided Midtown Manhattan Walking Tour

    Welcome to Midtown Manhattan! I get it, some seasoned New Yorkers don’t love this area. It is congested and feels touristy. But you can’t deny that it screams NYC. Before moving here, Times Square and the Theater District was New York to me. And honestly, I still love this area. Every time I visit, I get a little buzz in my soul. People from all over the world travel to New York City to see the bright lights and skyscrapers of Midtown. It really is a crossroads of the world and has been for hundreds of years.

    Self-Guided Upper West Side Walking Tour

    Welcome to the Upper West Side (UWS) in the NYC borough of Manhattan. This neighborhood sits between Central Park and Riverside Park and stretches from 59th to 110th Street. It is filled with culture, history, and (like most of Manhattan) money. The UWS is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the city. The average UWS 1-bedroom rents for almost $4,000. Many visitors recognize the UWS from TV shows and movies. You’ve Got Mail, Seinfeld, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel were all filmed here. The brownstone-lined streets, towering Central Park West residences and historic restaurants make this an iconic neighborhood. Since the UWS is such a large neighborhood, it can be hard to fit…
