Dangerous Neighborhoods Tour
Overview
Created by renowned Italian author Andrea Careri, a bestselling writer on New York and American pop culture, this tour honors the gritty, electrifying New York of the ‘90s—the golden era of hip-hop, the Yankees, the Knicks, iconic films, and legendary crime stories.
Step into the past as we explore the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods from the ‘90s, still pulsing with raw energy today. From the rise of legendary gangs to the golden age of hip-hop, we uncover untold histories, murals, and local spots that shaped the city’s culture.
Starting in Hell’s Kitchen, we’ll visit the Bronx, Harlem, and Brooklyn. Explore Mike Tyson’s birthplace, Notorious B.I.G.’s streets, Spike Lee’s production company, and iconic landmarks like Yankee Stadium, the Joker Stairs, and the Apollo Theater.
Exclusive access to hidden gems, like a legendary coffee shop and a barbershop frequented by stars, brings you closer to real New York. Choose the original—discover the real New York with expert guides.
