In 2022, we launched five brand new walking tours: Secrets of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a former museum guard, Brooklyn Underground Subway Tour, Secrets of Rockefeller Center, Secrets of the Lower East Side Tour and Tasting, and Fifth Ave Gilded Age Mansions. Untapped New York Insiders got to explore a Gilded Age mansion at 1014 Fifth Avenue, climb up the Highbridge Water Tower, go inside the abandoned Glenwood Power Plant in Yonkers, and tour the Palace Theater among many other experiences. In virtual talks, Insiders got to see in-depth interviews with the late architect Richard Roth, Jr., revisited the lost department stores of NYC with Chief Experience officer Justin Rivers, and heard from countless authors on interesting topics such as the history of Riverside Park and legendary jazz clubs.

We are excited to continue exploring with you in 2023! Here, we look back at our top stories of 2022, counting down to the most popular:
