This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Tribeca: Indoors Edition. Today: Dream House. A minimalist art experience, this version of the 'Dream House' was created in 1993 as an experiment with sound and light design. The space is supposed to give a calming, relaxing space amidst the chaos of the city. Unfortunately, in the last year its existence is threatened because of inability to pay rent during the Pandemic. Make sure to visit while you still can! More ‘atypical’ facts on our tours - AVAILABLE NOW! Book via the website in our bio.

This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Tribeca: Indoors Edition. Today: Mystery Bookstore. No, this isn't an active crime scene, just part of a book store which focuses exclusively on mystery and crime novels. It's one of the oldest mystery bookstores in the US and features the largest collection of Sherlock Holmes titles (as well as "Sherlockiana" - the fandom and study of Holmes) in the world.

This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Tribeca: Indoors Edition. Today: Small Museum. The 'Mmuseumm' is an entire museum in the space of an elevator shaft. It was founded in part by the Safdie Brothers, who made the film 'Uncut Gems.' More ‘atypical’ facts on our tours - AVAILABLE NOW! Book via the website in our bio.

05/13/2021

This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Tribeca: Outdoors Edition. Today: National Monument. Many NYers are unaware that Tribeca contains an official National Monument. The African Burial Ground Monument recognizes the burial of over 15,000 Africans in New York (almost entirely enslaved people) in this area. This was due to a law passed in 1697 in the city where no one of African-descent would be allowed to be buried within the the city limits and this location was not yet part of the official city. It's a site worth a visit on your next trip to NYC. More ‘atypical’ facts on our tours - AVAILABLE NOW! Book via the website in our bio.

This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Tribeca: Outdoors Edition. Today: Jenga Building. Most visitors comment that the building resembles the skill game 'Jenga.' Built in 2017, '56 Leonard Street' is the tallest building in Tribeca and was designed off of the concept of 'houses stacked into the sky.' These houses, though, are some of the most expensive condos in the entire city. More ‘atypical’ facts on our tours - AVAILABLE NOW! Book via the website in our bio.

05/11/2021

This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Tribeca: Outdoors Edition. Today: Windowless Skyscraper. One of the most protected skyscrapers in the world, the AT&T Long Lines building was built in 1974 to survive two weeks on its own after a nuclear blast. Initially, it housed telephone company's central telephone switches, now it is the center for secretive NSA data collection programs. More ‘atypical’ facts on our tours - AVAILABLE NOW! Book via the website in our bio.

05/10/2021

This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Tribeca: Outdoors Edition. Today: Ghostbusters Firehouse. Built in 1903, this has been a functioning fire station its entire history. Briefly threatened with closure in 2011, a support campaign lead by Steve Buscemi (a trained NYC fire fighter in the 80s) raised enough funds to keep it in service.

05/06/2021

This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Midtown. Today: Random Outdoor Dining. We all know the Pandemic has pushed many restaurants to get creative with their outdoor dining spaces, but this steakhouse is the first one I've seen entirely covered in fake grass for seemingly no reason. I stumbled upon it while on a walk. More ‘atypical’ facts on our tours - AVAILABLE NOW! Book via the website in our bio.

This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Midtown. Today: 'WHAT PARTY.' That's the title of a new sculpture from local artist KAWS, unveiled in August of 2020. He's known best for his reappropriation of pop culture icons like Mickey Mouse. This was placed outside of the Seagram Building, which was also the building where Bill Murray worked in film 'Scrooged.' More ‘atypical’ facts on our tours - AVAILABLE NOW!

This week, let’s look at some 'atypical' things around Midtown. Today: 6 1/2 Ave. Maybe reminiscent of 'Being John Malkovich' with its fictional 7 1/2 floor, 6 1/2 Avenue is very real. It was completed in 2012 as a pedestrian walkway with stop signs for traffic, giving people the right-of-way. More ‘atypical’ facts on our tours - AVAILABLE NOW! Book via the website in our bio.
