New York City Audio Tour: Broadway Legends and Times Square Mysteries

Audio guide14 stops

Above the roar of Midtown, secrets hide in the shadows of gleaming towers and historic marquees.

Move beyond the familiar snapshots to discover lost legends, dramatic showdowns, and unexpected turns lurking between destinations like One Worldwide Plaza, Port Authority Bus Terminal, and the storied New Amsterdam Theatre. Who plotted a multi-million dollar escape from these congested streets and vanished without a trace? Which ghostly rumor still haunts the velvet seats behind those dazzling theater lights? And what oddball invention was dreamt up right where commuters now rush by in crowds? Push through busy avenues and hidden tunnels, seeing the city with the grit and wonder of a true insider. Uncover drama in stone, scandal backstage, mystery at every corner. Ready to dig beneath Manhattan’s surface? Start your adventure now.
