At HI NYC, we believe that to get to know a place, you have to see it like a local sees it, hang out where the locals hang out, feel it like a local feels it. Our free events and programs can help connect you to the well-known and the lesser-known corners of New York, while meeting like-minded travelers from across the country and around the world.
Located on Manhattan’s famous Upper West Side, HI NYC is 2 blocks from Central Park and just minutes by subway from everything you want to see and do in the city. We’re a short walk from Columbia University, St. John the Divine, and the vibrant neighborhood of Harlem.
