COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

SPECIAL EVENTS:

We take community involvement seriously because it is an essential element in making our tours unique and effective. A SideWalk Fundraiser creates revenue and marketing for your cause, while fostering understanding and communication between your organization and its community.

Our tours also make exciting and unique WEDDING and BIRTHDAY events, or other special occasion activities. The base price of these tours is $200. The base price includes the research and designing of the route, the tour itself, and one rain date in the event of inclement weather during the first scheduled event. Depending on the specific event, the total fee is variable and can be reduced by:

cross-promotion
running your event during the week
revenue-sharing (if charging for the event)
handling your own marketing and/or ticket sales
requesting tour routes and themes that are posted on our website

Proposals and price estimates are provided upon submission of the form at the bottom of our Calendar page. Once a date and price is agreed upon, a 50% deposit is due immediately, and the remaining 50% is to be paid on the day of the event. Once your tour runs, it can be duplicated at a reduced rate.

COLLABORATIONS:

If your business or organization wants to collaborate with Gotham SideWalks, it can be a great opportunity for cross-promotion and community enrichment. We offer two options:

A tour PARTNER helps develop OR promote the tour.
A tour SPONSOR helps develop AND promote the tour.

Each tour will eventually have 1 Sponsor, and numerous Partners. Some ways to collaborate include:
-Offering hospitality or information during tours
-Offering research or resources that contribute to tour development
-Coordination of your events with our tours

We look forward to your ideas. Email GothamSideWalks@gmail.com, or propose an event through the form on our Calendar page.

NEW NEWS:

This off season we've been in contact with Central Park Bike Tours to help fill the demand for more Manhattan-based exploring. They're a reputable company offering bicycle tours and rentals, as well as carriage rides and pedicab/rickshaw tours. We recommend!

Our first overseas partner is based in Italy! Excursions in Tuscany runs like-minded bike and walking tours--both full and half day--around Florence and the rest of Tuscany. We hope to give detailed, first-hand reports on these tours soon!

Gotham SideWalks has partnered with Ride Brooklyn bike shop to make bike rentals for our tours easy and affordable. There is also an amazing Brooklyn Baseball history website that compliments the baseball tour quite nicely (with a unique selection of Brooklyn Baseball t-shirts for sale as well). Special thanks to the Old Stone House in Park Slope for being excellent partners of our BIKE BROOKLYN BASEBALL tour.

So far, other partners along our routes include:

-Marissa Alperin's Art Studio is a great place to pick up unique jewelry, but doubles as a time warp to an old waterfront grocery

-At Home in Brooklyn, a beautiful new B & B housed in a 1919 Tutor-styled shell that faces Prospect Park and Brooklyn Library
-Green Depot, a business dedicated to sustainable living located in an old YMCA on the Bowery in the Lower East Side
-The Fusion Arts Museum, an art gallery showing cutting-edge experimental art on the Lower East Side
