We begin in the neighborhood of Hells Kitchen on 8th Ave between 54th and 55th streets. Minibus will be pointing north toward the trees of Central Park (approx 4 blocks away). Look for the Chick-fil-A restaurant at 918 8th Avenue. Minibus aims to be at this exact spot. If city conditions require the bus to stage nearby, I will be standing at this precise location to guide you to it. Timing Matters. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the tour start time. Out of respect for everyone’s plans after our time together, the bus will wait no more than 5 minutes past departure. After a short introduction, we will head for the trees! Be prepared to take it from Hell's Kitchen noise level to dreamy Central Park.
