Begin your tour at Tompkins Park. Since being founded in 1850, it has seen numerous events including insurrections, conflicts between police and emigrants or homeless people. But nowadays nothing reminds you about these events. Just enjoy this quiet green zone with lovely atmosphere and beautiful plants including a great collection of elm-trees.

Then cozy up at one of the best coffee places of the city chosen for you by your local guide. You’ll have a chance to choose the place you like and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with mouth-watering desserts.

After a sweet break plunge into Japanese culture while visiting Little Tokyo neighborhood. This is a piece of Japan in the center of New York. Experience a unique mix of cultures in this authentic place.

See legendary New York University which is alma mater to probably the highest numbers of students in the world annually. Being highly prestigious, this University produces a great quantity of millionaires, billionaires and winners of various awards including 36 Nobel Prize Winners.

After feeling the spirit of knowledge, students’ life and success, chill out while having a stroll at Father Demo Square and Minetta Garden – small and lovely green zones with a beautiful landscape, soothing green colors and relaxing vibes.

Have a walk along charming Bleecker Street which has saved its old fascination. Small stores, a great variety of restaurants and cafes of all cuisines, historic landmarks like Bayard–Condict Building built in 1899 or Our Lady of Pompeii Church built in 1929 and bohemian atmosphere will make you fall in love with this wonderful place.

To continue your food destination take your time to visit one of numerous stores to buy high-quality products. The choice is really wide: Raffetto’s Pasta shop founded in 1906, Italian Faicco Market, a treasury of coffee and tea - McNulty's Tea and Coffee founded in 1895, Murray’s Cheese or Rocco’s Pastry with extremely tasty cakes. The guide will advise you the top places to buy food in New York.

Now it's time to check if Italian food in New York is same delicious as in Italy. Have a lunch at La Lanterna di Vittorio with any traditional dish of your choice like pasta, lasagna, pizza, carpaccio, panini… Great service, the food to die for, beautiful interior and a small romantic garden – this is one-of-a-kind food experience to have in New York.
