Fifth AVENUE AND LIVE JAZZ tour
Duration: 3 hours, up to 6 people
The best that New York has to offer: amazing history, dizzying landmarks and sounds of jazz! Join me for a walk along Fifth Ave - the name associated with wealth, glitz, and glamor.
Fifth Ave is one of the best-known streets in the world, especially its stretch known as Millionaire Row. Once upon a time, the Row was lined with the finest homes of New York's wealthiest people -- a place of ambition, intrigue, scandal, and the most spectacular balls ever given. We'll see famous sites, like Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Tiffany's, Trump Tower, Cartier, to name a few. We'll talk Vanderbilts and Astors, who once called Fifth Ave home.
We will finish at a place where the sounds of jazz rule the night ( food and drinks are available and advisable!) On Fridays you'll be treated to smokin' hot jazz, glamorous Chanteuses, scintillating Burlesque, and swing dancing.

WRITERS, PROHIBITION, DRINKS AND HISTORY tour
COCKTAIL MEETS HISTORY
Duration: 3 hours, up to 5 people Enjoy Prohibition-era cocktails and New York’s history, its secrets, and landmarks. Drink in one of the historic bars or hidden speakeasies and discover the New York that tourists don't usually get to see. We’ll have a glass of wine in one of the oldest bars in New York famed by its literary history (yes! the place stayed open during Prohibition, I'll tell you how!). We'll take a walk along the path not usually visited by tourists where we'll see a private park and facades of private clubs, we'll get to a vantage point from which we'll be able to see some of New York's most fascinating buildings. I’ll share some of my favorite New York tales filled with daring, ambition, movie characters, love, murder, Prohibition, and ladies' skirts. We'll finish our journey in one of the city's most elegant Prohibition-style parlor where exquisite whiskey cocktail and sounds of Jazz will make you feel like a Great Gatsby. |

New york SPEAKEASIES TOUR
ALCOHOL. BECAUSE NO GREAT STORY EVER STARTED WITH COFFEE.
DURATION: ABOUT 4 HOURS, UP TO 5 PEOPLE
Speakeasies served illegal bootlegged alcohol or cocktails, mixed to mask the inferior quality of homemade stuff. Speakeasies offered exciting nightlife entertainment with music, ladies, and dancing. The crazy party lasted for 14 years and left the city with a collective hangover. Prohibition changed all the rules: it created organized crime and the concept of nightlife, it brought about a new 20th-century independent woman and introduced a certain allure of secret drinking places. Speakeasies are no longer a necessity, but the idea of a "secret" creates this special excitement of discovery. There are only a couple of "true" Prohibition-era speakeasies in New York which still survived. But there are quite a few of excellent modern speakeasies where the craft of making a cocktail is elevated to the art form. Join us on an adventure of discovering hidden spots and tasting the best cocktails the city has to offer.
