Q: We enjoyed a tour of celebrity homes in Los Angeles and wonder if there are similar ones in New York. We would prefer a bus tour. – Joan B.
A: There is a New York celebrity home tour, which should provide you with interesting sights. Over three hours, a guide will take you through the Big Apple’s most glamorous neighbourhoods, entertaining you with tales of history, gossip and scandal. It starts off near Rockefeller Plaza and costs $59 per person. Among the places you will see are the Dakota building, where John Lennon died and many celebrities live; the outside of the apartment recently bought by Denzel Washington for $18-million; the place Jennifer Aniston waited tables before her big break; Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher‘s love nest; and the homes of Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, Bruce Willis and Antonio Banderas, to name a few. Among the celebrities that have been spotted on the tour are Julia Roberts, Bette Midler, Lindsay Lohan, Donald Trump, Paris Hilton and Tom Hanks. Your guide will tell you where these stars hang out.
