We start at Astor Place and usually stop at one of the city’s oldest bars - but the route is never the same. We don't follow a fixed path. Instead, your licensed, experienced guide reads the vibe of the group (max 8 guests) and curates a personal mix of bites, stories, and hidden corners. And because our guide isn't wearing branding, we look less like a tour group and more like an eclectic group of friends out for a night on the town. We cover plenty of ground, and often eat on our feet, so please wear comfortable shoes and come hungry for food, and to soak up that big nighttime Village energy. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We meet near Astor Place. - Max 8 people: small group - Min. 3 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 18:00: one departure a day - Food included: see what is included - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €90 per person - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.9/5 from 41 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Sidewalk Alchemy - Minimum booking: 3 travellers at this price - Group: Shared, up to 8 travellers - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Start times: 18:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-21 ## Reviews 4.9 from 41 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 40 of 41. - 5 stars: 40 (98%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 1 (2%) ## What's included - - Friendly, licensed, and professional NYC Guide - - Delicious food from 4-5 quality food spots.
