5 Unforgettable Experience To Have in New York

Looking to get a little more out of the Big Apple? Look no further. We have curated list that covers the best things to do in the big city, from jazz concerts in a Harlem home to art lessons in Grand Central.

Sketch and the City, Grand Central

This immersive sketching experience is hosted by Australian/New York-based artist Ben Ponté, providing an opportunity to observe New York from new and unusual perspectives. Put your device aside for a few hours and pick up a pencil and pad (included) – even novices will be surprised at how much you can achieve with Ben’s guidance. Tours spend at least an hour in Grand Central, where you might sketch the tiny stars in the magnificent ceiling, the ornate stonework or just New Yorkers rushing to catch trains.

The Secrets of Grand Central Terminal Walking Tour

Grand Central Terminal is an iconic New York landmark. Marvel at this architectural masterpiece and explore the impressive building alongside a native New Yorker. Unravel secrets only the locals know about, gaze at the beautiful celestial ceiling mural and see if you can remember which films were shot in this historical hub.

Tour Harlem’s jazz joints

Jazz aficionados Gordon Polatnick and Amanda Humes at Big Apple Jazz Tours offer a fabulous introduction to the Harlem jazz scene, with walking tours that take in some of the lesser-known clubs and plenty of jazz history. The Harlem Juke Joint Tour might include a visit to the intimate, no-frills American Legion Post (Col Charles Young #398), where the Harlem Groove Band features an iconic Hammond B-3 organ; or Bill’s Place, home of local star saxophonist Bill Saxton.

Go on a Greenwich Village Literary Pub Crawl

Plenty of outfits offer eating and drinking tours of New York, but not like this. Beginning at the White Horse Tavern where Dylan Thomas famously supped his last drink local actors guide you to several of the most prominent bars in Village literary history. Over a few drinks they’ll regale you with anecdotes and read from poems, plays and novels anything from the Beats (Kerouac, Ginsberg) and James Baldwin, to poets Edna St Vincent Millay and Hart Crane.

Take a pizza tour

Yes, New York really does boast specialized pizza tours. Scott’s Pizza Tours (led by Scott Wiener and his team) offers a guide not just to the city’s best slices (included), but also a hefty dose of culinary history and pizza slinging lore mixed in. Sample the delectable coal-fired version at 1950s joint Arturo’s, rich Sicilian pizza at Famous Ben’s (of Sex and the City and Men in Black 2 fame), and the quintessential New York slice at Joe’s Pizza.
