Let’s say you wake up in the city that never sleeps. You sit up in bed, stretch your arms, and think to yourself, I want to be a part of it!
Good news: You can, because 70 Park Avenue Hotel has introduced free Midtown Architecture Walking Tours.
Guide Gideon Levy points out The Chrysler Building
The tours depart from the lobby every Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and are led by local family-operated tour company, The Levys’ Unique New York!. They were custom-designed for the hotel by company co-founder Matt Levy, who knows the ins, outs, ups, downs, and likely even a few secret shortcuts through Manhattan’s bustling business district.
On the two-and-a-half-hour stroll, guides point out sights including Grand Central Terminal (the railroad station that’s like a city within a city), Bowery Savings Bank (a Classical Revival gem that houses Capitale restaurant) and The Chrysler Building (the tallest brick building in the world). Tours are held throughout summer.
So start spreading the news.
