I local led a unique personalized advenTour this past weekend.
to a young gentleman from Houston who wanted to eat his way across New York culture, history and neighborhoods. This is a tall task as New York changes constantly, always has and always will. A fellow foodie, Nick,was last here in 2016 and he wanted to experience the newest NYC sights and sample some of the best foods The City offers. On the ground for just 36 hours the mission was to cram as much living in that time as possible. His starting parameters were the Hudson Yards and Italian Food. That left a whole lot of other things and several meals for me to fill in.
Day 1 – Arrive at noon on Friday.
- Upper East Side via the E Train subway.
- View Tom Otterness Sculptures in the 14th street Station.
- Hammacher Schlemmer all the things you never knew you needed. What do you get for the person who needs nothing? You can find it here. can’t decide between the general purpose or golf hovercrafts or an 8 foot tavern bowling game? This department store literally has it all for you to touch and see.
A Hovercraft for Golf? 
8 foot tavern bowling game? 
or a general purpose hovercraft?
- Window shopping on 57th Street and Madison Avenue (Big name flagship stores and Fortune corporation skyscrapers) , PS 6452 repurposed
Grace Building (you can’t make a building with a curved front) 
How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
Practice, practice, practice.
- Bus to Times Square – See the ball that falls, NASDAQ Headquarters, M&M flagship store.

The only thing missing is you!
But i’ll bet you’d like to see Eataly, Little Italy and the Chelsea Market. So we can gear an AdvenTour to maximize your time! IT would be my pleasure!
