Hello! I'm David, a lifetime New Yorker and I'd love to show you around my city. The many journeys and experiences I've enjoyed here have only increased my love of my hometown. I have an advanced knowledge of its history and have participated in as well as led many walking tours here and around the world. I founded my catering and event planning business, Indiana Market & Catering, here over 35 years ago and have been featured many times in the New York Times, New York magazine and periodicals all over the country. I am also passionate about my teaching and public speaking career, currently teaching part-time at the Institute of Culinary Education, offering my background in restaurant management, customer service and leadership skills. Outside of these worlds, I've always found time to give back to my community in so many ways. I currently reside in the East Village but know the rest of this great city really well. Everyone should visit New York at least once in their lives to see it firsthand and explore its many pleasures and beauty. I promise to show you the well-known sights and intriguing hidden gems, as well as the best places to dine, buy, and have fun. On a tour with me, you can be assured to get a wonderful mix of knowledge and excitement to create unique, life-changing New York experiences. I'm looking forward to showing you around the place I call home.

David T. shared New York with our group of seven. Four adults and three children 13, 11, and 9. He was accommodating and thorough. We feel fortunate to have spent seven hours with David T.

David was a fantastic guide. He reached out in advance to understand any needs and preferences of our group so he could tailor the tour to us. Because we had a time crunch we started the tour at Hudson Yard and ended at 911. We learned many interesting stories about NYC that were well beyond what I’ve seen on other tours. Because we had one in our family who has never...

Wow, Dave made this day special for my wife and I! This was a late add to our short NYC trip, hoping for a quality add in touring the city. Dave delivered a top-notch tour. From his initial contact with us, to beyond the tour, we came as customer and left with a new friend. The description given on "Tours by Locals," is general. What we got, was a tailored...

Wow, Corbin and Stacy, I can't thank you enough for the trust you placed in me to give you a good overview of this great city. You were real troopers, walking all over town on a hot summer day. It was such a pleasure getting to know you and I look forward to our paths crossing again soon!
