Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

It’s impossible to miss Trump Tower at 725 5th Avenue. Depending on who you ask, it’s either the height of luxury or crass and tacky. Of course the escalators aren't made of real gold, but they're certainly made to look that way when the tower opened in February 1983.

Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

The tour is over 2.4 miles long, with more than 35+ audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.

Seth Meyers knows a thing or two about moving. From "Saturday Night Live" to "Late Night." From this West Village condo at 302 West 12th Street to a five-bedroom co-op near Washington Square Park.

Stop 3

This is Washington Square Park, one of the best spots! You might see John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s kids flying a drone here. And it's not uncommon to spot Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker and their family wandering around the park.
