Overview
Uncover the layers of New York City’s urban evolution on this immersive 2.5-hour walking tour. We begin at the historic USS Intrepid, moving through the vibrant Hudson River waterfront to explore how the city’s harbor functions and what existed before the modern glass towers of Hudson Yards.
This tour is a deep dive into "Starchitecture"—a literal boutique of world-class design. As we walk the High Line, an elevated park reclaimed from a historic rail line, we will analyze masterpieces by legendary architects, including:
Frank Gehry’s billowing IAC Building.
Zaha Hadid’s futuristic 520 West 28th Street.
Thomas Heatherwick’s sculptural Lantern House.
Bjarke Ingels’ twisting One High Line.
Beyond the steel and glass, you’ll learn the hidden stories behind the High Line’s public art, murals, and indigenous gardens. We’ll discuss the engineering marvel of the Vessel and the massive platform supporting Hudson Yards before concluding our journey at the floating oasis of Little Island and the innovative Pier 57.
Expect a mix of history, art movements, and breathtaking views on mostly flat terrain. Perfect for photography lovers and fans of modern urban design.
