Overview

Let's go get $1.50 pizza slices & $4 drinks in the most expensive city in the world. We will take photos in front of some famous tourist sites like Times Square & Rockefeller Plaza, and do a bit of walking in iconic midtown. This tour will give you lots of ideas & spots to go for the rest of your NYC trip!

We'll meet in Bryant Park for this two hour experience. Our last stop of the tour is the cheapest bar in the neighborhood, which has a full bar, jukebox & free New York City hot dogs!

As soon as you book, you'll receive a message from me with cheap spots & tips, in addition to my favorite NYC finds. It includes ways to get discount Broadway tickets!

This tour will go on rain or shine-it is not all outdoors but quite a bit of it is!

Wear your walking shoes & bring cash if you'd like pizza or a drink!

This experience is perfect for couples, team- building, families, or single travelers!
