Embark on the Iconic Manhattan: Journey through Landmarks and Legends

Beneath the leafy heart of Manhattan, secrets whirl where vintage horses spin and poets watch in silence. This self-guided audio tour peels back Central Park’s genteel surface, inviting you to discover the wild stories and lost moments most visitors never suspect.

Who set fire to the beloved carousel not once, but twice, turning a playground into an urgent rescue site? What shadowy episodes unfolded in The Dairy, when city rules clashed with tainted milk and political power? And which actor’s infamous family fueled a Shakespearean scandal that echoes through the statues today?

Feel history surge as each step carries you from hidden nooks to famous statues and forgotten battlefields. Dramatic highs and quiet mysteries await at every turn, painting the park anew in every direction you wander.

Listen closely—the true Central Park is waiting just behind the music. Tap play and ride straight into its remarkable depths.
