- Hudson Yards - We begin this cross-city excursion at one of the city’e newest developments, also occasionally called “Dubai-on-the-Hudson.” We take a short walk around the marble-clad and elegant mall of mostly high end shops. We’ll appreciate views of the Hudson River, New Jersey and see the railroad yards below that are the reason for it all.
The Vessel and the Shed are two grand works of architectural “folly” that dominate the courtyard.
From here we segue seamlessly to the Highline.

This excursion is an ideal opportunity for residents of the suburbs and daily commuters to discover the rich, intriguing districts, landmarks, and areas nestled between the high-rise buildings of Midtown and the Financial District.
Initiating and concluding at Grand Central, the journey has been made convenient for MetroNorth and LIRR users. All other city transportations—a subway, a bus, and a ferry trip—are an integral part of the voyage. A brisk subway journey is succeeded by a 3.5-mile stroll, featuring numerous halts at various landmarks and boutique stores. Though the tour cost doesn’t cover food, ample time is given to dine and shop.
Our meticulously crafted walk meanders through the legendary locales of Chelsea, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown. The walking section of the expedition wraps up close to City Hall and the infamous Five Points neighborhood, a significant part of the city’s history. We then take a bus and a ferry back to Midtown.
The final ferry ride offers guests a distinctive viewpoint to perceive how the districts they just traversed blend with the city’s renowned skyline.
