Created by internationally renowned Italian writer Andrea Careri, a bestselling author known for his books on New York City and American pop culture, this tour pays tribute to the gritty, electrifying New York of the 1990s—the golden age of hip-hop, the Yankees, the Knicks, iconic movies, and legendary crime stories.

Step back in time as we explore New York City's most dangerous neighborhoods of the 1990s—places that still pulsate with raw, unfiltered energy today. From the birth of legendary gangs to the golden age of old-school hip-hop, this tour takes you to the very heart of the city, revealing iconic murals, untold stories, and local spots that have shaped its culture.

This immersive experience begins in Hell's Kitchen – once one of Manhattan's most feared neighborhoods – and then continues on to the Bronx and Harlem. We'll visit the birthplace of Mike Tyson and the streets where Notorious B.I.G. made history. Along the way, we'll stop at Spike Lee's production company, explore iconic bookstores, and soak up the cool vibe of Brooklyn – the epicenter of New York's music and film industry, home to actors, musicians, and producers.

We'll also visit legendary sites such as Yankee Stadium, the Joker Steps, the Apollo Theater, and spectacular murals like the one of Notorious B.I.G. in Brooklyn.

What makes our tour truly unique? Exclusive access to hidden gems: a legendary coffee shop, an iconic barbershop frequented by baseball stars and hip-hop legends, and other local spots that will bring you closer to the real New York City.

And since no authentic New York experience is complete without it, we'll take the subway, adding the ultimate sense of immersion to this unforgettable tour.
