New York City history isn't all about Ellis Island and immigration. New York City history is not all about the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty or even the terror of 9-11. The culture and history of New York City too is defined by more than the Broadway Theater or the experience of a horse drawn carriage ride through Central Park.

The culture of New York City is to a large extent of product of its history, something that more and more tourists are recognizing cannot be experienced on the standard New York City walking tour. The culture and history of the city cannot merely be conveyed through the descriptions of a New York City tour guide. New York City history and culture is something that you must experience.

Rather than embarking on one of many traditional New York City tours, why not look for ways of understanding what the city is as well as what it has been in the past? Rather than listening to a tour guide tell you what it's like to visit Times Square at night, why not visit for yourself? Walk along the curves of the road. Really take a close look at the shape of a building and study its architecture.

So the next time you visit New York City, you'll find that there just may be too much to take in your typical walking tour. Despite what they will tell you during average NYC tours, you cannot capture the culture and history of the city in a tour that takes a couple of hours or an afternoon: you must immerse yourself in the Big Apple to see, hear, taste and feel all that it has to offer.
