High above the Central Park finish line of the NYC Marathon! Toasting our courageous running friends from Dizzy’s Coca Cola Jazz Club!
Today we visit Balto the hero sled dog who’s statue has nobly stood on this rock outcropping in Central Park. His statue, the children’s favorite, has stood in Central Park since 1925.
Balto’s brave history goes back to 1925 when Nome, Alaska was stricken with a diphtheria outbreak. Teams of mushers and sled dogs traveled almost 700 miles during a snow blizzard with enough antitoxin to treat all the sick.
Good dog!
Come visit with us.
We will never forget.💙

A happy Wednesday morning ☀️ of Fifth Ave tranquility, seated by the 1916 Pulitzer Fountain, topped with Pomona, the Roman goddess of protecting and the flourishing of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards. Appropriate location considering she’s standing across from Central Park. Come visit with us!🗽
Yes! ‘The Charging Bull’, by Italian-American artist Arturo Di Modica, sits not at Wall Street but several blocks away on Broadway in the Financial District. Originally dropped in front of the NYSE building in the middle of the night on Dec. 15, 1989. Let’s visit it together!
Another hidden gem in NYC! This is Pablo Picasso’s 60 ton ‘Bust of Sylvette,’ from 1968. It was constructed by Carl Nesjär and hides in a Greenwich Village courtyard. Discovered on several of our Manhattan tours.
Mesmerized by the beauty of nature surrounding us touring Val-Kill (Valley-Stream), at the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site in Hyde Park, NY. Just north of NYC, such history and stunning countryside on one of our favorite tour destinations. Please join us.

Exactly 110 years ago today, this very sidewalk and staircase on Broadway, was crowded with hundreds of people, families and friends, waiting for the list and notices wired from the North Atlantic of the Titanic survivors. This was the White Star Line temporary office. We will always remember. 💙

This special NYC visitor from Normandy, France arrived recently to Fifth Ave. If he looks familiar, it’s ‘Le Petit Prince’ of the French children’s book of 80 years. The Little Prince strains his neck to view Manhattan’s super towers and the blue Sunday sky. During our Gilded Age tour we discovered our new friend - we wonder if that beautiful French Lady 🗽 in our harbor has met him yet! Sculptor - Jean-Marc de Pas. Join us for one of our many tours! #nyc #ourtownnewyork #centralpark #manhattan #newyorkcity #sculpture #ourtownnewyorktours #france #fifthavenue

We couldn’t think of a more appropriate man to honor this Memorial Day, then George Washington himself. This is an actual mold (life mask) of our President’s face from 1785, four years before his inauguration on Wall Street. It’s extraordinary to see in person. Memorial Day originally began to honor those who died in the Civil War and now is to honor all veterans who gave their lives in sacrifice for their nation.

Women & Children’ by Danish Artist Nina Beier, is installed on the High Line Park. Based on the “women and children first,” a Victorian-era maritime code of conduct possibly amplified with the cartoonish tears. We think there is much more depth to the meaning too. Come visit with us! It’s only on exhibit here until April 2023. #ourtownnewyorktours #nyc #highline #newyork #artist #manhattan #meatpackingdistrict #ourtownnewyork #newyorknewyork #newyorkcity #ilovenewyork #nyctravel #timeoutnewyork #touristattraction #hudsonriver #greenwichvillage #usa #nycstreets #nycparks #streetart
