You’ve seen the Empire State Building in movies, postcards, and probably from halfway across Manhattan. This time, you’re following its story through the city.
This self-guided Mystery Bar Hop takes you between three Midtown cocktail bars, with clues on your phone leading the way. At each stop, a drink is waiting, along with a piece of the Empire State Building’s history, from the legends surrounding its rise to the role it has played in New York ever since.
Solve the clues, move at your own pace, and see Midtown with a little more purpose than simply wandering block to block. Along the way, enjoy the view from the Empire State Building Observation Deck, where the skyline pulls the whole night together.
We’ve lined up the route, the bars, the drinks, and the view. All you need to do is show up and follow the story.

Know before you go
- What happens if we want to stay longer at a stop? The experience is self-paced, so take your time. The only thing to keep in mind is Observation Deck hours, which we'll flag in your experience clues. Allowing about 45 minutes at each bar will keep you on track.
- What time does it start? 5:30pm. Your digital clues arrive by email 24 hours before your experience, with the starting location revealed inside. Allow around 4 hours from there.
