New York Contrasts Tour

New York City has many places of interest and is the perfect destination to indulge in countless unforgettable experiences.

You can visit New York for a business trip, vacation or tourism, alone or accompanied, either with friends or family, the truth is that it is a city for all ages.

From seeing its iconic yellow taxis, its impressive skyscrapers, the traditional carts to buy hot dogs, its large parks within the city, to the corners seen in many movies, these are just a few examples of everything that surprises in the Big Apple.

But it is true that Manhattan is only the beginning since there are many neighborhoods that surely are not in the plans of travelers due to their fame, since some have been labeled as conflictive or dangerous.

There is an excursion called contrasts tour whose special characteristic is to bring visitors up close to scenes of life in other districts further away from New York, such as the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn where there is a lot of tradition, culture and history.

The name “contrasts” alludes to the great variety of sites that are known during the tour, considering that most travelers usually stay in Manhattan while visiting New York. In this way, it is possible to discover different facets of one of the most heterogeneous and cosmopolitan cities in the world.

The tour lasts approximately 4-5 hours, visiting four of the five New York boroughs: Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn. (Only Staten Island is out of the itinerary).

As the bus goes through some of the neighborhoods of each district, there is a guide on board telling anecdotes and relevant information about the city.

Although there are different tourist companies that organize this tour, the vast majority have a standard route that goes through Harlem, in Manhattan, and then makes some stops in the South Bronx, and in Brooklyn (in the Jewish neighborhood of Williamsburg).

Harlem: it is one of the best known in NY, especially for its Afro-American roots. Although many travelers believe that it is a dangerous neighborhood, it can be navigated without problems. In addition, it is the perfect place to enjoy a jazz concert or a gospel mass.

Bronx: a neighborhood with a very bad reputation but that has changed a lot over the years. There are many interesting things to see in the Bronx, including Yankee Stadium, the New York Botanical Garden, the famous Grand Concord Avenue, and the South Bronx, full of graffiti and gang memorials.

Queens: It is one of the largest districts in the city. Despite its bad reputation, here are some of the essential museums in New York. In addition, it is the cradle of jazz, since Louis Armstrong lived in this area.

Brooklyn: This district has been the birthplace of many famous artists, such as Eddie Murphy and Woody Allen. In addition, it has many places to see, such as the Brooklyn Museum of Art, one of the largest museums in the city; and Prospect Park, one of the favorite parks in New York for locals.

Some points to keep in mind when doing the tour:

– For those who only have a few days in New York, it is advisable to focus on the Big Apple and the most iconic attractions in New York. However, for those who have a little more time and are curious to find out what is hidden in the other districts, this tour is ideal.

– Considering that the bus has different stops along its route. This tour becomes ideal because some places are far from each other to do it by public transport, and it may take more than a day to get to know a little about each place.

At the same time, the comfort of going in a vehicle while a guide tells everything that happens around is really one of the great advantages. Instead of worrying about not getting lost, or looking for where to go on the map, visitors can devote themselves to contemplating from the window or choosing those stops of their interest.

– It must be considered that, when choosing the stops, it usually happens that most people usually choose the same places of interest. Therefore, it is recommended to be patient to enjoy the ride, take some pictures and return to the vehicle.
