New York City: Walking tours

Options for walking tours of Manhattan or the outer boroughs are many and varied. Usually led by experts, they offer fact-filled wanders through neighborhoods or focus on particular subjects. You'll find fliers for some of them at the various Visitor Centers; for what's happening in the current week, check the New York Times (Fri or Sun), the weekly Village Voice or New York Press (both out on Wed), or any of the free weekly papers around town. Detailed under "Organizations" are some of the more interesting tours: they don't all operate year-round, the more esoteric only setting up for a couple of outings at specific times of the year. Phone ahead for the full schedules.
