GREENWICH VILLAGE
One of the most important figures in all of the Real Housewives lives is the fabulous creator of Bravo’s Real Housewives and pop culture mogul himself – Mr. Andy Cohen. Our tour gives you all the juicy details on Andy’s television background and how he became the King of the housewives. As you drive through the lovely Greenwich Village you will get to see the studio where all Bravolebrities alike have shared a laugh and a drink with Mr. Cohen and TV viewers in his show Watch What Happens Live. Here you will also get a chance to see Carole’s neighborhood as well as the home of the Skinnygirl Offices.
SOHO
Every housewife loves a good shopping spree in this next part of town -Soho! You’ll see some of the ladies favorite places to gossip, cry and shop such as: the tasty macaron mecca Lauduree, the vintage shop that Carole takes Aviva to called What Goes Around Comes Around, IL Mulino the Italian restaurant that the women frequent often, and CB2 home decorating store where Bethenny had to use a napkin from the store to wipe her tears away. Just to name a few!
You’ll then have a chance to celebrate Sonja paying off her $7 million judgments with a delicious cupcake from Georgetown Cupcake – the very place she took the girls to celebrate.
NOLITA AND UNION SQUARE
As you make your way back uptown you will come across some of Alex and Simon’s favorite places in the city such as the shoe store 25 Bond Street, the restaurant Indochine, and Joe’s Pub live music venue. You’ll pass by some of the New York University buildings where Carole received her master’s degree in business from. As you make your way through Union Square you’ll see Kristen Taekman’s favorite 24-hour diner in NYC called The Coffee Shop. You’ll then have a chance to let out that inner child in yourself as you visit one of Carole’s favorite places – the ping-pong club SPiN.
MIDTOWN WEST
We will then make our way to Bryant Park to see the previous site of NYC Fashion Week where the infamous Jill Zarin stormed out of a fashion show because she wasn’t seated in the front row. The ladies sure did fill Bryant Park with loads of fashionista drama throughout the seasons! You will pass by many other Midtown hotspots including The Warwick Hotel, The Essex House, Petrossian, and even have the chance to explore the renowned Russian Tea Room where the Season 1 Reunion show was filmed.
UPPER EAST SIDE and MIDTOWN EAST
A Real Housewives of New York Tour wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the Upper East Side where we see the restaurant Le Cirque – home of “The Leg Toss heard around NYC” and Jill and Bethenny’s tearful attempt at a “make up” session. You’ll see other UES hotspots such as Dylan’s Candy Bar, the housewives favorite plastic surgeon Dr. Sharon Giese’s offices, leading NY restaurant Serafina, and the Pierre Hotel where Ramona and Mario renewed their vows.
