Activity itinerary

Holland Tunnel
  • 20m
The entrance to the MIB HQ, shrouded in myths, is, in fact, one of the ventilation towers of the Holland Tunnel. This tunnel, a vital link beneath the streets connecting Manhattan and New Jersey, conceals the gateway to a world where extraterrestrial mysteries are unraveled. While the exterior reveals a touch of reality, the interior of the MIB headquarters comes to life within the studios of Sony in Los Angeles. One of the most intriguing spaces within the headquarters is the examination room, a direct homage to the iconic TWA terminal at JFK Airport. Marvel at the design that pays tribute to the sleek and futuristic elements of the terminal, creating an atmosphere that blends mid-century modernism with a touch of intergalactic flair.
The Battery
  • 30m
Dive into the secrets of Battery Park, where the MIB headquarters cleverly hides in plain sight. Battery Park, a serene oasis located in the heart of Manhattan, serves as the backdrop for a pivotal moment in the Men in Black movie. After his initial foray into the enigmatic MIB headquarters, Agent J, portrayed by Will Smith, seeks solace and reflection in the peaceful embrace of Battery Park. As the bustling cityscape provides a dramatic contrast, Agent J takes a moment to absorb the magnitude of the new world unfolding before him. The park, with its lush greenery and scenic views of the waterfront, becomes a sanctuary for contemplation, offering a brief respite from the extraterrestrial revelations and intergalactic responsibilities that now define his reality.
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
  • 20m
Reach the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, an architectural masterpiece designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright. This iconic museum of modern art not only houses a stunning collection but also served as the backdrop for the first pursuit between Agent J and an otherworldly alien in the blockbuster Men in Black film.
Empire Diner
  • 20m
Indulge in the charm of the Empire Diner, where Agent J and his partner, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones), shared a memorable meal before the transformative "neuralyzation" in the Men in Black series. Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, the Empire Diner stands out as one of the most beautiful diners in the city, gracing the screens of numerous films and series over the years. Step into the refined interior of the Empire Diner, a space that underwent a total redesign in 2011, blending classic diner aesthetics with a contemporary twist.
Grand Central Terminal
  • 30m
Get to the iconic transportation hub, woven into the fabric of New York City, which becomes an important setting for the MIBs as they navigate the intricate network of secrets hidden within. At the heart of Grand Central, concealed within the labyrinthine locker room, lies locker C-18—a seemingly ordinary storage space that unravels the existence of an entire otherworldly civilization. Picture the MIB agents, with their signature style and futuristic gadgets, peeling back the layers of this bustling transit hub to reveal a hidden world that operates beyond the awareness of everyday commuters.
Famous Ben's Pizza
  • 30m
Welcome to the renowned Famous Ben's Pizza, a New York City institution that not only serves up delicious slices but also shares a slice of cinematic history. As you step into this iconic pizzeria, a film poster proudly declares that a memorable scene was shot right here. Immerse yourself in the nostalgia as you savor the mouthwatering aroma of generously topped and budget-friendly pizza slices.
Chrysler Building
  • 30m
Witness the gravity-defying heroics at the iconic Chrysler Building, where the daring escapades of the Men in Black unfold. In a movie scene, Agent J takes a spectacular leap from the soaring heights of the Chrysler Building, not just as a gravity-defying feat, but as a temporal portal to travel back in time to the year 1969.
Statue of Liberty (Pass by)
The iconic Statue of Liberty is where cinematic magic meets monumental symbolism. In the world of Men in Black, this revered statue conceals a secret of extraterrestrial proportions. The torch that symbolizes enlightenment takes on a new role – housing a colossal Neuralyzer. This ingenious device serves a crucial mission: to erase the memories of New Yorkers, ensuring they forget the extraordinary battles that unfolded in its shadow. The guide will take you to the place where the ferry to the Statue of Liberty departs. You can finish the tour here or at any other place of your preference, feel free to express your preferences to the guide at the beginning of the tour
