October

3 Sessions | 36 Hours or 72 Hours

In-Person

Instructor: Peter Hayes

All aboard for an unforgettable NYC adventure. We’ll kick things off at Penn Station, where the city’s energy hits you the second you arrive. From there, hop on the subway uptown and step into the calm of Central Park—a green escape in the middle of the madness.

Next stop: Downtown! We’ll ride the train to the Brooklyn Bridge, take in those skyline views, and stroll right into DUMBO, one of the coolest neighborhoods in Brooklyn. We’ll grab some legendary New York pizza (obviously) before catching a ferry ride back to Manhattan with postcard-perfect views of the skyline.

Our journey continues through Wall Street and the 9-11 Memorial, where the city’s history and hustle come alive. We’ll wrap up the day heading back uptown to Hudson Yards and the Vessel, then finish strong beneath the neon lights of Times Square.

This course isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about the New York experience: mastering the subway, exploring the city’s best sights, and experiencing its energy.


Please be prepared to pay for about 3 subway rides, at $3 each. Apple/Google Pay is the best form of payment.
