New York City: Dangerous Neighborhoods. Authentic Tour of the Bronx, Harlem & Brooklyn｜United States

(Also available in a semi-private VIP version for groups of up to 8 people: please select this option when booking).

Created by internationally renowned Italian writer Andrea Careri, a bestselling author known for his books about New York and American pop culture, this tour pays tribute to the gritty, electrifying New York of the 1990s—the golden age of hip-hop, the Yankees, the Knicks, iconic movies and legendary crime stories.

Step back in time as we explore the most dangerous neighborhoods of 1990s New York—places that still pulsate with raw, unfiltered energy today. From the rise of legendary gangs to the golden age of old-school hip-hop, this tour takes you to the heart of the city, revealing legendary murals, untold stories and local spots that have shaped its culture.

This immersive experience starts in Hell's Kitchen—once one of the most feared neighborhoods in Manhattan—and then heads to the Bronx and Harlem. We'll visit the birthplace of Mike Tyson and the streets where Notorious B.I.G. made history. Along the way, we'll stop at Spike Lee's production company, explore iconic bookstores and immerse ourselves in the cool vibe of Brooklyn—the epicenter of New York's music and film industry, home to actors, musicians and producers.

We'll also visit legendary places such as Yankee Stadium, the Joker Stairs, the Apollo Theater, and spectacular murals, such as the one of Notorious B.I.G. in Brooklyn.

What makes our tour truly unique? Exclusive access to hidden gems: a legendary coffee shop, an iconic barbershop frequented by baseball stars and hip-hop legends, and other local spots that bring you closer to the real New York.

And since no authentic New York experience is complete without it, we'll take the subway—further enhancing the sense of immersion on this unforgettable tour.
