There is a new tour in New York City for gossip lovers. The New York Post has created a bus tour based on its famous "Page Six" gossip column, which covers all the scandal and gossip on a daily basis.
The tour is aimed at those looking to revel in the misfortune and mishaps of others, leaving class and aversive sensibilities behind and instead appealing to a certain schadenfreude that most people enjoy as a guilty pleasure.
"The New NYC Bus Tour Ripped From The Post's Headlines," reads the tagline for the double-decker bus.
Travelers have the opportunity for tours "seen through the eyes of the New York Post."
"Our famous headlines come to life as the double-decker bus takes you on a ride on the wild side of the city," the ad said.
The newspaper has joined forces with Metro Sightseeing to provide the tours, which pledge to take passengers past Manhattan most expensive apartment, drive by the homes of the "rich and uber famous" and see the topless bar "where they found that headless body," as well as a swing past the spot where Marla Maples experienced the "best sex she ever had."
No two tours are alike, according to the company. The tour is updated every week with the latest news and gossip, though a few classic stops will remain every week.
"The tour kicks off with a drive-by on the Queen of Mean's homage to opulence, the Helmsley Palace Hotel," reads the website for Circle Line Sightseeing, which sells and distributes tickets. Then the bus "hooks a right on famed Fifth Avenue past Tiffany's and over to Trump Tower, the Donald's original homage to his inadequacy and then quickly descends into a world of celebrity mishaps, sleazy pols and mob hits."
The tour is $49 and departs on at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Thursdays at the corner of 57th Street and Seventh Avenue.
