Viral New York City Tour Has Tourists Feeding Pizza to Rats

It has been a while since I have spent time in New York City. I would like to think I would still know my way around from my commuting days in the 1980s but I am also sure much has changed.

Many things are different in New York City since the 1980s. Too many to name but many things have stayed the same. For instance, there is always a way to make money off a tourist in New York City. The other never-ending constant is the rat population. One entrepreneurial individual has found a way to capitalize on both.

Little Known Unusual Tours in New York City

As if New York City didn't offer enough things to do it has to add a few that are obscure. According to Atlas Obscura Guide to New York City, you can find 753 things to do out of the ordinary when you visit the Big Apple. Everything from The Lexington Candy Shop which is billed as the oldest family-run luncheonette in New York to The Elevated Acre a garden oasis located above the busy streets in the financial district.

I have not read down the entire list published by Atlas Obscura but I am going to go out on a limb and say that the tour I heard about last week might be the craziest. If it didn't make the list it needs to, apparently you can now take a Rat Tour in New York City.

Instead of just staying inside, I decided to take it upon myself and learn my way around the city.
