Broad Nosh Bagels Deli

Your tour begins at Broad Nosh Bagels, one of New York's most popular bagel destinations. You will enjoy a freshly baked bagel with cream cheese, made the old-fashioned way.

Mimi's Pizza

A proper New York food tour demands a proper New York pizza slice. Mimi's delivers one of the Upper West Side's finest, a handmade slice with a fermentation process that takes over 72 hours from start to finish, resulting in something far beyond ordinary.

Belnord Apartments

Stop by the Belnord, one of the Upper West Side's most distinguished residential landmarks and the primary filming location for the acclaimed comedy series "Only Murders in the Building."

Jerry Seinfeld's Apartment

A visit to Jerry Seinfeld's original New York City apartment building, where the comedian lived long before he became one of the defining voices in American comedy.

Zabar's

A landmark of the Upper West Side for over 90 years, Zabar's is the definitive destination for Jewish deli specialties, smoked fish, fresh pastries, and everything in between. You will sample one of their exceptional chocolate rugelach, a classic you will not soon forget.

Banksy's "Hammer Boy" Mural

Visit one of the city's most beloved and intimate pieces of street art, a small but iconic mural created in 2013 by the legendary English street artist Banksy.

Beacon Theatre

One of the great live performance venues in New York City, the Beacon has hosted Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Jerry Seinfeld, and countless other legendary artists across its long history.

The Ansonia

An extraordinary example of Beaux-Arts architecture, the Ansonia has been home to some of the greatest figures in American arts and sports history, including Babe Ruth and composer Igor Stravinsky.

Gray's Papaya

A New York City institution that has been serving grilled beef hot dogs for more than 50 years, Gray's Papaya is the undisputed home of the quintessential New York City hot dog experience.

The Dakota

A solemn and important stop at the landmark building where John Lennon was tragically killed in December 1980.

Strawberry Fields

Just steps from the Dakota, Strawberry Fields is a moving memorial dedicated to John Lennon within Central Park, one of the most visited and quietly powerful spots in the entire city.

Magnolia Bakery

Your final stop is Magnolia Bakery, one of the most famous bakeries in New York City and the source of the cupcake that became a cultural touchstone through its appearances in "Sex and the City." A sweet and satisfying ending to a remarkable afternoon.
