Art Deco Icons of NYC Tour

From gazing at the Chrysler Building's shimmering crown to navigating sleek underground passages beneath Rockefeller Center, this tour explores Manhattan's Art Deco icons from surprising perspectives. Join us as we venture through Midtown visiting skyscrapers both famous and overlooked.

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
