The NY Travel Inn
Day: Swim and schmooze above the city at our hotel’s rare New York rooftop pool. Visit locations in Harlem like “Filet Of Soul” (Live & Let Die), and more (Blast from the Past). Mingle with fans and hear the inside dish on Casino Royale (2006)!
Night: Join in on the newly styled memorabilia event “Bondabilia Dash” at 007 o’clock. Then toast and unwind at Sardi’s Restaurant (Diamonds Are Forever).
Felix Leiter: “This is one of the best places in town for beef, and Brizzola’s the best cut of that, straight cut to the bone. Roasted and then broiled.”
Tiffany Case: “It’d take more than Crabmeat Ravigote to get me into bed.”
“…broiled lobsters arrived and they [Bond and Felix] went to work with their nutcrackers.”
Ian Fleming – Diamonds Are Forever
Saturday August 27

Would you believe there are also points of interest from License to Kill, GoldenEye and Goldfinger on Saturday’s tour as well? It’s true!
Our special BCW backstage tours go behind the scenes of various New York happenings. Stroll, photograph and learn about Bond book and movie locations stretched between the Trump Tower and Embassy Row.
Night: We’ll visit Times Square, with its locations from Ian Fleming’s world, one of the three brightest nightspots on earth. The Saturday night’s annual Costume Bash features a “Casino Royale” theme (of course!) along with competitions, rare videos and music and more. We top off the fun with a champagne toast to unveil the BCW8 Official Poster at Midnight!
