New York City Audio Tour: Legendary Landmarks of Manhattan’s Upper West Side

Audio guide11 stops

A secret lies beneath Manhattan’s lively sidewalks—layers of ambition, artistry, and mayhem that shaped the world’s most restless city. This self-guided audio tour invites you to pierce the surface and discover the stories pulsing through Verdi Square, the legendary American Museum of Natural History, the boundary-shifting New York Historical Society, and more. Roam corners where revolutions were whispered, legends born, and chaos tamed—often away from curious eyes. Who caused public panic with a single bone at the museum? Why did secret political operatives meet near Verdi’s watchful gaze? What unsolved feud changed the city’s archives forever? Journey through shadows and sunlight, from forgotten concert halls to treasures hidden in collections. Follow the footsteps of rebels, geniuses, and dreamers as New York reveals its wildest chapters one block at a time. Unlock the city’s hidden heart—let the true stories beneath Manhattan begin.
