4th of July
Place: New York City - [ 04/07/2012 ]

It’d be hard to find a more ethnically diverse city than NY, but come 04 July, there’s no shortage of residents proud to be American. Always a booming festival to celebrate the United States’ independence, festivities abound all day, culminating with a fireworks display on the Hudson. New York Pops performs to accompany the illuminated sky.

Thanksgiving Macy’s Day Parade
Place: New York City - [ 25/11/2012 ]

A Thanksgiving tradition with all its pageantry and splendor that typifies New York. Watch 10,000 participants — including the nation's best marching bands, performance groups, giant helium balloons, breathtaking floats and Santa Claus — wind through the heart of Manhattan.

Christmas in New York
Place: New York City - [ 25/12/2012 ]

Christmas in New York even brings notoriously hurried, curt NYers to slow down a little and share a little more good cheer. Shopping takes even greater prominence, while Rockefeller Center’s lights, towering Christmas tree, and ice skating rink becomes a sight worthy of any Broadway spectacular.

I can't imagine anyone being more knowledgeable, informed, engaging and personable than Jared, particularly about the neighborhood he knows personally from his own family history. Our Urban Adventure tour exceeded whatever expectations we might have had and we enjoyed the experience very much.

Absolutely loved our Harlem tour with Jared. We booked a Thursday in November, and our family of 3 ended up with a private tour. Jared immediately identified our interests and customized the tour for us. Our son, who just turned 15 and has started playing in the jazz band at school, got to hear all about Harlem's music greats and history. I love architecture, and Jared found side streets that illustrated a variety of housing trends thru the years. Jared loves New York and is a treasure of information about the city. I picked his brain endlessly, and he even sent us more info about jazz clubs later. Thanks Urban Adventures and Jared! Visited November 2011
