Questing NY

Tourist attraction

👍👍 If you’re looking for a fun way to explore NYC — finding oft overlooked city specifics — a Questing scavenger hunt is for you!

Boroughs of the Dead

Tour agency

👍👍 Boroughs of the Dead is my favorite tour company period. I've been on a good chunk of their tours and none have ever disappointed me. Their conscientious ethos & feminist POVS are also a welcome shift from what I've generally experienced with most paranormal-centered tour companies. These tours are...

Lajos Kossuth Monument

Sculpture

👍👍 It is almost unbelievable that you can find a statue of Kossuth in New York. Although it is not close to the big landmarks in New York, let's visit it as a Hungarian if we can. It can be combined with exploring Central Park, as it is approx. It is a 10-minute walk away.
