We begin in the neighborhood of Hells Kitchen on 8th Ave between 54th and 55th streets. Minibus will be pointing north toward the trees of Central Park (approx 4 blocks away). Look for the Chick-fil-A restaurant at 918 8th Avenue. Minibus aims to be at this exact spot. If city conditions require the bus to stage nearby, I will be standing at this precise location to guide you to it. Timing Matters. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the tour start time. Out of respect for everyone’s plans after our time together, the bus will wait no more than 5 minutes past departure. After a short introduction, we will head for the trees! Be prepared to take it from Hell's Kitchen noise level to dreamy Central Park.

Stop 1: Strawberry Fields, Bethesda Terrace, and The Mall This stop is the Heart of the Park. Everything coexists at this one special spot including nature, art, culture, and history. Depending on size and pace of group, this stop is usually 1.1 - 1.5 miles (1.8 - 2.4 km).

A true neighborhood gem near 77th Street and Columbus Avenue. Grand Bazaar NYC is one of the city’s oldest flea markets, featuring local vendors offering art, vintage finds, jewelry, and food. This stop supports small businesses and sits just steps from Shake Shack, bagel shops, and classic Upper West Side brownstones and You've Got Mail charm.

Rounding the Upper East Side onto Fifth Avenue, we stop at the Conservatory Garden with three distinct garden styles (French, Italian, English) offering a quiet, elegant pause inside the city.

Ending point is near The Plaza hotel, at the intersection of 59th Street & Fifth Avenue.
