From there we'll visit a local sculpture park where you can appreciate the area's unique artwork and creative talent. We make sure our visitors get the best insights on the architectural and artistic development of this amazing city.


We'll stop at a secret old cafe in Little Italy, where you'll have the opportunity to indulge in some traditional Italian cuisine and learn about the fascinating history of the Italian mafia. We will explore the historic Italian neighborhood and come to understand the Italian American culture at a real Italian family business.


We will also stop in the historical Five Points of New York, in which the film “Gangsters of New York” is based on.


Then we’ll explore the magic of Chinatown, Manhattan’s biggest neighborhood.


In Chinatown, we'll explore the vibrant streets and visit the Dr Sun Yat-Sen monument, which honours the life and legacy of the Chinese revolutionary leader at Columbus Park.


We will have the chance to try the best dumplings of New York for just a few dollars .


We will see Chinese street art and all the best restaurants on this town.
