There are online marketplaces for just about everything. Of course, there is Brooklyn based Etsy, the marketplace for handmade  and related items that has reached worldwide scale. There is also Manhattan based SideTour, the online marketplace for ‘experiences’. Experiences fall in to a very wide range of activities from yoga classes, to jazz sessions, to culinary excursions.. to tours of places like 5Pointz.

The 5Pointz tour is led by Meres One, the founder of 5Pointz Aerosol Art Center and curator of its outdoor gallery, and they happen periodically. On Sidetour’s site there are currently three scheduled, though as of today two are sold out.

Untapped Cities recently covered one of Meres One’s tours, it includes lots of photos. Take a look at the pics — and go on a tour yourself as time may be short.
