Meeting and pickup

Let's meet in front of the Lexington Avenue entrance to the Chrysler Building, between 42nd and 43rd streets. If you get there early, check out Cafe Grumpy on the other side of Lexington Avenue for a great cup of coffee.

End point

Since our tours are private, the end point is flexible. We can drop you off at 30 Rock if you have Top of the Rock tickets, at Saint Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, or at another location you specify.

Pickup details

Since our tours are private, we can pick you up from your hotel or apt rental, if you prefer. The travel time from your lodging to Midtown landmarks would be part of our tour time. We would either walk or use the subway to get to Midtown. Otherwise, we can meet at the designated meeting point.
