Behind the Scenes Tour of the New Yorker Hotel

Untapped Cities is excited to announce this exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of The New Yorker Hotel, led by Joe Kinney, the senior project engineer and historian of the hotel. On this visit, you will access the off-limits rooftop of the hotel next to the famous NEW YORKER sign (weather depending), walk through the long-closed tunnel that once whisked guests from the subway to the lobby, visit the abandoned but historic and award winning power plant from 1929 that was once the largest DC generator in the world, walk inside the elevator machine room that is still in operation and look at Kinney’s extensive historical archive. Depending on access that day, the visit may include a look into the suite Nikola Tesla lived in until his death and the Manhattan Ballroom next door. Experience both sides of history on this visit, walk in the glamorous footsteps of society’s rich and famous and learn about the hotel’s engineering and design feats.
