Underground NYC Tour (AKA Empire Beneath The Streets Group Tour)
Starbucks, 38 Park Row #4, New York, NY, US*TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT - https://dljparty.ticketleap.com/undergroundnyc/dates (*Must purchase in advance. This tour sells out quickly so don't wait.)
It's right under your feet, you probably ride it every day, but how much do you know about this city's amazing subway system.
Our private tour guide will give us the secret history and inside story of the creation of the original 1904 subway line and how it grew into the most extensive transportation system in the world.
All the art, all the history, all the technical breakthroughs, all the "whys" and all the shenanigans that went into this spectacular achievement. A unique experience for seasoned locals or new members to our fair city.
Get a look at the subway that few people, even lifelong New Yorkers, fail to recognize. This tour explores the areas of the system that are open to the public but in most cases overlooked. You'll end at Grand Central Shuttle Station.
We will enter the system at Brooklyn Bridge/Chambers Street Station. We will board a downtown local train so as to view the old City Hall Station from the train. We will be stopping at Astor Place and Grand Central station. We will switch to the Times Square- Grand Central Shuttle and then go over to Times Square. After that we will go back over to the Grand Central Shuttle Station. This is also the final stop on this tour.
NOTE: We do not go into the tunnels or any area that is not open to the public. This includes the long-closed City Hall Station, which we will view from the safety of a train.
All ages are welcome. Rain or shine event.
*$39-$45 depending upon how early you purchase. Host/meeting details will be emailed to all paid attendees.
