Wake The Tiger

2 mi
Wake The Tiger’s out-of-this-world experience is a self-guided, walk-through labyrinth of exploration which begins in an abandoned paint factory before journeying into the Dream Factory, and finally transcending to the OUTERverse. For both the young and young at heart, showcasing more than 40 spaces, it encourages visitors to discover and interact with the incredible art, and for those who value a deeper connection, dive into the story behind this unbelievably, challenged alternate world. This soul-searching experience will take visitors on a limit-pushing voyage where adventure is not just a destination, but a state of mind…some may say a dimension beyond imagination.

Ahoy New York Tours and Tasting
Ahoy New York Tours and Tasting
New York
Our company was founded in 2008 by Alana Hoye Barnaba. Originally from upstate New York, Alana moved to New York City and immediately began her love affair with its food, history, and culture. For years before creating her company, Alana tried every type of food the city had to offer and began specializing in the tastes of ethnic neighborhoods. Some of her first experiences with the city’s culinary adventures were fresh dumplings and homemade mozzarella — foods included on the signature tour today. Soon after, Alana started Ahoy New York Tours & Tasting and has been sharing her love for the passion, culture, and history of the city through food tours of New York neighborhoods. Ahoy New York Tours and Tasting’s goal with each tour is for customers to leave not only with the knowledge of the area and full of delicious food but also an experience to tell friends and family about long after the tour is complete
