To many, the Hasidic world is shrouded in mystery and secrecy—well, not anymore. On this experience you get to see first hand the daily lives, rituals and customs of the Hasidic community, guided by a member of the community. Being able to access places seemingly closed off and hidden to the outsider. An opportunity to be able to ask any and all questions about the Jewish faith, culture and philosophy. We kick off the experience inside a Hasidic home, and learning about what it takes to keep a Kosher home. Then its off to the streets of Crown Heights, starting with exploring the world famous “770” Synagogue, getting a glimpse into the hustle and bustle of daily prayer services. Next stop is a Jewish scribe, seeing up close the intricate details involved in producing the Torah Scrolls. Followed by a walk down the avenue, visiting the local shops, and seeing the traditions dating back to the early 1800’s. If you don’t see availability for when you would like to join, please message us and we will try to accommodate. The experience will be hosted by Yoni or Mayer. The experience continues rain, snow or shine (just come prepared).
Explore the Real Brooklyn
Experience the real Brooklyn with me! Many people want to visit Brooklyn but just don't know where to start. I am here to change that: I will show you five completely different sides of Brooklyn in five different neighborhoods. You will get an overview of New York City's most populous borough, and I will introduce you to Brooklyn's history, culture and people. Covering five different neighborhoods, this is the most comprehensive Brooklyn tour available. You'll get to see how diverse Brooklyn truly is when I show you classic Brooklyn brownstone architecture as well as the 'hipster' side of Brooklyn, street art and vintage shops, hidden bars, amazing Manhattan views, an Orthodox Jewish community and grand historic homes. To be able to show you as much of this giant borough as possible, we are using the subway three times on the tour, but this will give you time to sit down and take a break in between exploring the various neighborhoods on foot. See "Where we'll be" for the neighborhoods we're visiting on the tour. Other things to note -If you book a private tour, I am able to accommodate specific requests for neighborhoods / sights to include. -Bring a valid MTA subway ticket (ideally a weekly card with unlimited rides) and wear comfortable shoes.

Manhattan Architecture & Urban Design Walk
Curious about how and why Manhattan is built up the way it is? Looking for a fun, alternative daytime activity to do during your visit? A departure from your average sightseeing tour, you'll be receiving the "locals-only treatment" that won't disappoint. Using curated sites on the streets as our canvas, this Experience explores the Big Apple’s built landscape through world-class architecture, fascinating urban planning, and fun facts about the city's early days along the way. You'll also learn about the history and details of structures that are overlooked in everyday life, and how buildings and public spaces have informed each other from the late 19th century until today. David tours guests through either the Chelsea/Meatpacking area or the Lower East Side/SoHo area. Each stop along the tour's route will discuss a different theme of planning and architecture that will build upon each other until the conclusion of the tour. The walking tour will last 2.5 hours and either route covers the same topics. Guests will have the opportunity to walk indoors to stop for a snack/beverage along the way, and there will be plenty of opportunities to use the restroom. Please be sure to dress appropriately for the weather and please be sure to bring plenty of water during the summers. For inclement weather, please stay tuned the day before in case of cancellation or rescheduling.

From there I'll lead you into the showroom or you can hang in the bar area hoping to see a famous comic before the show begins. By the end of our show, the entire audience feels like a unified community with the inside jokes and personalized story telling from our seasoned team of comedians. You can't get this experience anywhere else in NYC!
Taste NY's Top Food Neighborhood
New Yorkers know that the East Village is the city's very best neighborhood for food and drink, with hundreds of restaurants offering food from every region of the world. Our tour gives you a taste of the delights that can be found here, and along the way, we'll tell some delightful stories about the businesses we visit and fill you in on a little of the area's unique history. First up are Ukrainian varenyky. This is a somewhat hidden spot in the basement of a side street that few tourists (or New Yorkers) are aware of. We will then make our way over to St. Marks Place where I talk a little about the importance of the street and the many changes its seen over the years, and have a taste of a classic street food originally from the Middle East. Next we walk through adjacent Little Japan. I talk about how it became such a destination for lovers of Japanese food and culture before we try a distinctive dish from Japan. Fourth we have take down some tacos as I talk about the evolution (and great improvement) of Mexican food in NYC. Finally, we end at local institution Ray's Candy for some deep fried oreos. All food is included in price. This tour is great for groups of all sizes -- couples, friends, families. It's also a fun option for work teams and great for team-building.
