I took RetroMan’s Nightclubs and Speakeasies tour. Our guide, Andrew, was energetic, and so passionate about the material, that he drew us all into the stories of yesteryear. He used a mix of archival photos, music, and visits to several key sites, to really bring the past to life. This was not a walking tour. It was an experience! Highly recommended.

Andrew provides a true insider's look into the New York City of yesteryear. The tour is a slice of nostalgia as it relates to Manhattan nightlife and all its storied reputation. Indeed, a time when folks would dress up for an evening out - men decked out in jackets and ties, women dolled up in dresses and pearls. Sinatra & Gardner, Bogart & Bacall, DiMaggio & Monroe all make an "appearance" in one's mind throughout the tour. Who better to take us on this illuminating and entertaining journey than Andrew. Not merely trivia, with period photographs and well researched anecdotes and accounts, he demonstrates a passion for the subject matter and allows this fully come through on the tour. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the 120 minutes and enthusiastically recommend it! Cheers!!! (P.S. Oh, and stay tuned for the conclusion of the tour to find out who this Toots is.)

I have worked in midtown for many years, even enjoyed a drink or two in the selected locations. Much of the area was familiar for walking but what a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours hearing about the history of the speakeasies right in our neighborhood. A great tour of midtown NYC Speakeasy bars where the elite used to hang out. All of the nooks and crevices hold stories of the past that are released through RetroMan's enthusiastic and expert story telling. Highly recommended.

You can almost smell the cigar smoke, hear the table talk, and taste the martinis from Andrew's marvelous journey into New York's golden age of bars and backroom nightspots. The ghosts of 52nd Street are brought boisterously to life!
