I am a licensed Tour Guide, Travel Writer, and long-term New Yorker. With over two decades of experience, I lead tours of NYC's iconic sites (the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Broadway Theatre District, etc. ), neighborhoods, and themed tours. I have created tours for the New-York Historical Society, Google, the New York Public Library, Cartier, Colombia University, Johns Hopkins University, and numerous local tour companies. I also craft multi-day NYC itineraries for clients. My forte: New York's fascinating history and cultures. As a writer, I have written over 150 articles about New York, covering NYC landmarks, neighborhoods, history, dining, and events. I am also an amateur photographer with work in the Museum of the City of New York's permanent collection. Exploring the city and sharing it with others is a labor of love - I am passionate about all things New York City. I strive to make every tour an occasion - blending in-depth information, local insight, illuminating stories, plenty of discoveries, and fun. I combine expertise and enthusiasm to create one-of-a-kind, unforgettable New York experiences. NYC Sightseeing Guide License. Created special tours for the New-York Historical Society, the New York Public Library, Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University among others. Freelance journalist - over 150 published articles about New York City. NYC Theater professional, including work on Broadway & Lincoln Center. Long-term New Yorker. Member of the Guides Association of NYC. Like most New Yorkers, I do not drive. The best way to experience NYC is walking its streets and neighborhoods. Tours are designed for exploration on foot, using public transportation, taxis/Uber, or ferries as needed.
