Adventure on a Shoestring
Shoestring founder and tour guide Howard Goldberg believes people deserve to get more than their money’s worth, not just their money’s worth. He leads neighborhood-based tours and themed walks, such as his salute to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. ‘We’ve done tours in driving rain, blackouts and subway strikes,’ Goldberg says. What a perfect way to learn about NYC’s fortitude.

Afoot Walking Tours
The focus here is a geographically unique one: Manhattanville, a subject that guide Eric K Washington has authored two books on. The neighborhood is an old West Harlem enclave around Broadway and 125th St; get to know it through Eric’s lively walks that look at African American history. You can also choose from tours of Sugar Hill, an architecturally rich region in the northern part of Harlem, or the beautiful northern stretch of Riverside Park.

A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour
The effusive Brooklyn Borough president Marty Markowitz just loves this focused tour. And who wouldn’t want to spend more than four hours downing a gut-busting range of insanely delicious slices, from the brick-oven Neapolitan style of Grimaldi’s to the authentic Sicilian squares of L&B Spumoni Gardens? A guide mouths off about the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Red Hook, Bensonhurst and more while you’re chewing.

Big Apple Greeter Program
If you find NYC a bit overwhelming – and who wouldn’t? – call to set up an intimate stroll, in the neighborhood of your choice, led by a local volunteer who just can’t wait to show off his or her city to you. You’ll be matched with a guide who suits your needs, whether that means speaking Spanish or American Sign Language, or knowing just where to find the best wheelchair-accessible spots in the city.

Café Carlyle
This swanky spot at the Carlyle Hotel draws top-shelf talent, from Bettye Lavette to Woody Allen, who plays his clarinet here with the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band on Mondays at 8:45pm (September through May). Bring bucks: the cover doesn’t include food or drinks.

Pink Elephant
The name is coy, but the place is all class – so much so that it can be tough getting in the door. DJ-blasted deep house resonates throughout the tight, low-ceilinged dance floor, so don’t expect to hear your taxi driver’s chatter at 4am.
