New York City’s walking tour is a wonderful way to learn about different cultures and the lesser-known facts about the local neighborhoods. Allen Batista Travel, Inc. offers three walking tours--Mid-Manhattan, Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown, Lower East Side – to locals and visitors with an insider's view of New York City's iconic neighborhoods.

Experiencing The Dynamic Pulse Of Midtown Manhattan

The Mid-Manhattan walking tour covers New York City’s iconic sites, covering major attractions such as the Broadway Theater District, Times Square, Grand Central Terminal, the Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and more.

The journey starts at Times Square, also known as the “Crossroads of the World,” because it is a busy intersection in the heart of Manhattan. It is also the setting many individuals travel from around the world to countdown to the new year and to see the annual crystal ball drop.

The visitors will meander to Rockefeller Center, known for its art deco architecture, Radio City Music Hall, Top of the Rock Observation Center, NBC Studios, the ice-skating rink, and the setting for the annual Christmas tree lighting.

Visitors will meander past St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a working church and a stunning display of Neo-Gothic architecture. The walking tour also includes stops at Grand Central Terminal, a major transportation hub with stunning Beaux-Arts architecture.

The Chrysler Building, an art deco skyscraper, is iconic for its “crown and radiator cap ornaments.” Bryant Park, a popular park, is known for its free activities featuring live performances and outdoor movies, as well as the annual winter village and outdoor ice-skating rink.

The Empire State Building is another art deco skyscraper offering spectacular views of Manhattan from the observation decks.

Exploring The Cultural Tapestry Of Soho, Little Italy, And Chinatown

Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown walking tour provides locals and visitors with an insider’s view into three iconic neighborhoods.

Soho: The Artistic Hub

Soho is known for its beautiful cast-iron buildings, art galleries, fashion shops, and small coffee shops. The neighborhood has a vibrant art scene.

The neighborhood fuses the past and present, mixing its industrial heritage with a cutting-edge contemporary art scene. During this tour, we will meander past the Haughwout Building, a five-storey building known for its cast iron facade.

Little Italy: A Taste Of Old World Charm

The tour wanders to Little Italy, a home for Italian immigrants who had settled in New York City during the 1840s. The neighborhood is also known for mob hangout sites, including the Ravenite Social Club and Umberto’s Clam House back in the day.

Today, visitors meander through the cobblestoned streets to savor authentic Italian cuisine and to experience Italian culture and traditions.

Chinatown: A Vibrant Cultural Kaleidoscope

The tour meanders through Chinatown, a neighborhood with a vibrant Chinese culture, delicious Asian cuisine and unique architectural landmarks. Chinatown is also the home for Asian immigrants—from China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Laos, and Malaysia—in the 1830s.

By meandering through the neighborhood, visitors will see Chinese characters on neon signs, traditional markets, family businesses, traditional temples, and famous community buildings. Visitors will also learn about the neighborhood’s dark side - gangs ruled the neighborhood.

Delving Into The History And Modernity Of The Lower East Side

The Lower East Side has been a melting pot for Italian, Jewish, German, Latino, and Asian immigrants for many generations. The old-fashioned narrow streets of the district tell stories of days of old through tenement-styled houses and old-fashioned shops.

The Lower East Side walking tour highlights important locations such as Red Square, Orchard Street, Russ and Daughters, Katz’s Deli, Angel Orshanz Center, Eastern Dispensary, Seward Park High School, Williamsburg Bridge, Delancey Street, Blue Building, Streit’s Matzoh Factory, Economy Candy, and Yonah Schimmels Knish.

The neighborhood has been the setting for several movies such as “Godfather” “Godfather II,” “Desperately Seeking Susan,” “Ghostbusters 2,” “King Kong” and scenes from “When Harry Met Sally” and “Crocodile Dundee.” The neighborhood has also served as a backdrop for popular television shows such as “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “FBI: Most Wanted,” “Elsbeth,” and other shows.

Allen Batista Travel, Inc.’s knowledgeable and friendly guides share lesser-known fun facts about Mid-Manhattan, Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown, and the Lower East Side while strolling by beautiful architecture throughout New York City.

Walking tours are wonderful to learn about New York City’s rich history, impressive architecture, and multicultural communities. Contact Allen Batista Travel, Inc. to book the Mid-Manhattan, Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown and Lower East Side walking tours.
