Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Nature & Wildlife Tours

November 25, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Birding Bob

$10 Bird walks in Central Park (NYC) and other parks in and around NYC. I have been leading these walks for 25+ years; earned a PhD in evolutionary biology...have done research on migratory and resident birds (and plants) in Central Park (+ other parks of NYC) and internationally (Thailand, Nepal, Malaysia, Israel) - with many scientific and popular articles published on this research (see web site). Along with photographer Deborah Allen, we do several tours each week, usually starting at 7:30 and/or 9:30am in Central Park, and we welcome anyone interested in learning about birds, or the history of Central Park to join us. Our walks are fun, inclusive and we try and discover something new about the world every time we venture out. (And we have binoculars to rent!). We can be hired to do private bird walks in Central Park or anywhere in the tri-state area...travel with us in our SUV.
