How the process works

1. Get to know YOU

We’ll send you our They Had Fun questionnaire, so we can get to know you and your interests better.

In the questionnaire you can let us know everything from your budget to your favorite cuisines to preferred modes of transportation.

2. Research/Planning

Now that we know more about you, we’ll start planning your fully customized day.

Given our extensive knowledge of New York City, we’ll take your preferences into consideration and hand-pick destinations just for you. We’ll be sure to leave room for exploration along the route, as that’s one of the best things about this town!

3. Your Curated Day

After we’ve created your perfect day or night in NYC, we’ll send you a personalized PDF guide, custom Google Map with directions, and suggestions along the route we think you’ll enjoy.

If you’ve added on the Reservation package, we’ll include times and confirmations.

4. Have fun!

With your custom itinerary you’re ready to have an incredible New York City experience!

And we’ll be available throughout your day to help with anything you need.

Client Reviews

  • “Honestly, this was one of the best day dates we've had in YEARS, and I didn't have to plan one thing. I know NYC well, but Rachel knows the right questions to ask in order to make your experience ALL ABOUT YOU. I could not recommend this enough for people who live in NYC and even more for those visiting. They Had Fun is literally the key to unlocking a perfect NYC experience.”

    — Natalie, Brooklyn

  • “I’m a born and raised New Yorker, and I love planning things. But this still felt like such a special experience. 100% recommend treating yourself or friends/family to a They Had Fun custom day/night (with reservations included), whether you’re visiting for the first time, have lived here your entire life, or anything in between.”

    — Michael, Brooklyn

  • “My husband and I have two small kids and don’t get out much, so when we plan a date night we really like to make the most of it. So we gave this amazing company a shot. The most incredible date night from start to finish and what a relief to not have the pressure of planning. Checked everything off our box. We were led to some true NYC, special gems all within walking distance from one another!”

    — Amerah, Queens

FAQs

How many stops does a Curated Day have?

We like to offer four stops and one suggestion along the route. But we can also offer three stops for guests who prefer their day to go at a slower pace.

How long is a Curated Day?

While every day is adaptable and customized to each client, we find most people like their day to be around eight hours long. For some that might mean brunch at 1pm, walking, a museum at 3pm, drinks at 5pm, and dinner at 7pm. For others, coffee at 8am, neighborhood strolls, breakfast at 10am, shopping, and a late lunch at 2pm. Most of all, we want to make sure you enjoy your day exactly how you want.

Can I request a specific neighborhood?

Of course. In fact, we'd love it! Curated Days are perfect for exploring new neighborhoods and parts of the city that are often overlooked... taco crawl in Elmhurst anyone?

What happens if I can't make it to one of the stops?

That's ok! New York is all about exploration and adventure. We want your day to feel adaptable to you. Maybe you wound up lingering at lunch longer and can't stop at a store featured in your day, fine by us! However, all reservations canceled with less than 12-hour notice will be billed a late cancellation fee of $50/per person. All to say, have your fun but respect our hard-working restaurant industry!
