The George Washington Bridge over the Hudson is the most beautiful bridge in the world. Made of cables and steel beams, it gleams in the sky like a reversed arch. It is blessed. It is the only seat of grace in the disordered city.

Le Corbusier, "When the Cathedrals were White," 1947

Testimonials

TripAdvisor Review One World Observatory of the private tour: "We were running 🏃‍♀️ late and Louis from the ticket counter accommodated us. We were introduced to Emma who was an amazing tour guide. She was worth the up-charge. She was comprehensive, patient and knowledgeable. She enhanced the experience! She made our 2nd anniversary even more special."

TripAdvisor Review: Bowery Boys Walks Virtual Tour Cast-Iron Architecture on Ladies' Mile: "The presenter Emma Guest-Consales was excellent. She was warm, enthusiastic and engaging and she showed a breadth of knowledge of the cast-iron architecture and history of Manhattan's Ladies Mile. This was a virtual tour with lots of wonderful slides of beautiful buildings which I look forward to viewing in person on my next trip to the city. She provided us with a detailed checklist of these buildings and also a resource of books for further research. I look forward to attending more Bowery Boy Tours - virtual and in-person."
