Overview
Created by renowned Italian author Andrea Careri, a bestselling writer on New York and American pop culture, this tour honors the gritty, electrifying New York of the ‘90s—the golden era of hip-hop, the Yankees, the Knicks, iconic films, and legendary crime stories.
Step into the past as we explore the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods from the ‘90s, still pulsing with raw energy today. From the rise of legendary gangs to the golden age of hip-hop, we uncover untold histories, murals, and local spots that shaped the city’s culture.
