About This Tour:

When someone thinks of Art Deco architecture they think of looking up. But what if some of the most interesting stories about New York City’s Art Deco structures are better told underground? On this Underground Art Deco tour, some of the most celebrated Art Deco buildings in Manhattan will be approached and spoken about from the perspective of what’s going on underneath them. Of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to see and admire icons like the Chrysler Building, the Graybar Building, the General Electric Building, and Rockefeller Center in their above-ground glory as well.

Ear pieces are provided to each guest, ensuring everyone hears the guide perfectly, even from a distance!
