We were drawn to the idea of City Running Tours when we first read about them on HotelChatter last year, but we’ve yet to do one ourselves, mostly because we like to enact a strict no-exercise rule on vacations.
But we might make an exception for their latest endeavor, which is a sightseeing tour that brilliantly pairs exercise with overeating. Genius!
CRT’s bRUNch event concept kicks off on Saturday, June 27 with their first running/brunching event in New York. $50 gets you a guided 5-mile tour of Manhattan, drinking water, and prix fixe brunch at STAND. The NYU-area burger restaurant is known for its fancy-fast-food options like burgers topped with bacon and eggs or Portobello mushrooms and onion marmalade. Recently they've launched a brunch menu complete with the requisite cocktails, including very reasonably priced $3 mimosas and bloody Marys.
Sounds like we might need to run another 5 miles home to work that off.
