Art Deco Icons of NYC Tour

Explore Manhattan’s celebrated Art Deco landmarks from above and below, admiring both skyscraping towers and overlooked underground passageways! From the shimmering Chrysler Building and historic Graybar Building, to the shocking GE Building facade, and a sleek subterranean spot below Rockefeller Center, see NYC’s Art Deco icons from a new perspective.

Tour Highlights

  • Marvel at the incomparable beauty of the Chrysler Building, and spot hidden automotive motifs on its facade

  • Discover a way to take a (safe) peek at the storied Track 61 beneath the famed Waldorf Astoria—once the site of an underground party hosted by Andy Warhol

  • Navigate the iconic Rockefeller Center through its vast network of underground passages

  • Why are there rats on the Graybar Building?

  • Decipher the hidden meanings behind the symbols carved into this Art Deco tower

  • Uncover one of New York City’s most stunning—and often overlooked—Art Deco landmarks, such as the electrifying General Electric Building

  • Step onto the very subway grate that helped cement Marilyn Monroe’s legacy as a cinematic sex symbol
