NYC: Midtown Manhattan Walking Tour with Smart Glasses｜United States

Meet your guide and put on your smart glasses to begin your tech-powered tour of Midtown Manhattan. Walk through a century of fame on one street, where the 20th century learned to be famous.

See a train terminal that Hitchcock, Coppola, and De Palma turned into a stage. Visit a library where Hollywood ends the world — and where New York keeps saving it. Stop at a square where a photographer caught the most famous kiss in history on the day the war ended.

Continue to a theater where 73 million Americans met the Beatles on a single night in 1964. Visit a studio where 'Live from New York...' has opened Saturday nights for fifty years.

Your smart glasses bring back what's gone: the V-J Day crowds of 1945 layered over today's Times Square. The exact black-and-white frames of North by Northwest inside Grand Central — and the Hollywood secret of which shots were real.

See the $1 million morning in 2001 when a film crew emptied Times Square entirely. Experience the moment Empire State of Mind bursts into color with Alicia Keys singing steps from where you stand.

Learn about Lunch Atop a Skyscraper, photographed 850 feet above the sidewalk you'll be standing on. Your guide connects a century of it — cinema, television, music, news — from the ticker-tape era to the smartphone era, in the company of Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, Will Smith, and Jay-Z.
