Landmarks in New York City
7 landmarks to discover on our audio walking tours of New York City.
Empire State Building
Built during the Great Depression as a flex, this building was so empty for years that New Yorkers called it the 'Empty State Building.' Now it's just empty of affordable rent.
Statue of Liberty
She's been standing there since 1886, but did you know she was almost sent to Egypt? And that her original color was brown, not green? The French really knew how to regift.
Belvedere Castle
Belvedere Castle looks like a medieval fortress, but it was built in 1869 and has never defended anything except bird watchers.
Bow Bridge
Bow Bridge, one of the most romantic spots in the park, and scene of at least 47 movie proposals.
Brooklyn Bridge
This bridge took 14 years to build and claimed at least 27 lives - including the original architect. It's been sold to gullible tourists more times than we can count.
Grand Central Terminal
This 'terminal' isn't just a train station - it has a secret platform, a tennis court on the roof, and a hidden bar that was speakeasy during Prohibition.
The Ramble
You are now entering The Ramble, 36 acres of wild forest where anything can happen.
