New York Adventure Club | www.AdventureClub.comHow have New York City's transit hubs shaped its legendary food and drink culture? From an opulent dining room in Grand Central Terminal to both historic and current watering holes near Penn Station and the High Line, it's time to uncover the delicious intersection where New York transportation meets cocktail and bar history.
Join New York Adventure Club for a guided exploration through some of New York City's iconic transit hubs and their railroad-inspired cocktail and bar legacies.
Led by licensed New York tour guide James Hoffman, our unique walking and transit experience will include:
- A dive into the histories of Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall , including the architectural marvels, cultural significance, and hidden secrets of these historical landmarks
- The High Line’s transformation from an old freight rail line into one of the city’s most beloved green spaces
- Insights into the city's transportation legacy including the PATH, LIRR, Metro-North, and subway systems
- Highlights of legendary bars and nightlife spots from the Campbell Apartment and Grand Central Oyster Bar to the Knickerbocker Hotel and Tunnel nightclub
Our experience ends inside Porchlight Bar , which will have a special cocktail menu with historical cocktails like the 20th Century , The Red Cap , and The Vanderbilt available for purchase. Non-alcoholic beverages and food will also be available to purchase. While enjoying the beverage of your choosing, James will connect the history of the themed cocktails with the sites visited on the walk.
See you there!
