Overview of the tour in New York

Hi, I’m Ben, a Columbia University student who’s called NYC home for nearly a decade! Join me on a 2-hour walking tour of Central Park, starting at the iconic Plaza Hotel (59th St & 5th Ave). Together, we’ll explore the park’s major attractions and visit spots you’ve seen in your favorite movies, including:

Home Alone 2 - The Gapstow Bridge
When Harry Met Sally - Bethesda Terrace
Enchanted - Bow Bridge
Marathon Man - The Reservoir

We’ll also uncover hidden gems and soak in stunning views, and I’ll share fun facts about the park’s history and design. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned New Yorker, this tour is packed with stories and sights you’ll love.

Free Tour – Tips Welcome!
The tour is completely free, but your tips help support my studies at Columbia, and I couldn’t be more grateful for your generosity.

Let’s make unforgettable memories in NYC’s most beloved green space!
