Hello! Think of me as your new New York friend with lots of insider recommendations beyond your tour. Here's a video to get to know me a little better, along with a tour of some lesser-known NYC sites: https://youtu.be/Ht7iqfj74v0?si=ntzXOGQE9n5DYIxs New York is one of the great cities of the world, and I love showing off its history, buildings, stories, and secrets—including New Yorkers' favorite places to dine, drink, shop, and relax. Ever since I moved here 30 years ago, I've been leading intimate tours for family, friends, and now for visitors like you as a licensed New York City tour guide. A little more about me: I am an educator and event planner by training, so my job and passion are to create exciting and meaningful experiences for you and your group to learn about the city and why it is so incredible. I've lived in many New York neighborhoods, been a student at NYU, written books, taught at Columbia University, spent time with celebrities, and lived through 9/11—all of which enrich my knowledge of New York's unique culture, customs, and craziness. My Focus: Greenwich Village has been home for most of my New York life, so I lead lots of tours in this popular neighborhood that includes Washington Square, Christopher Street, Little Island, and the Meatpacking District. Another favorite place for tours is Central Park. It is an engineering and environmental marvel, and New York would be unlivable without it. We also have many other beautiful parks which are great launchpads for learning about and discovering the areas of the city that surround them. And then there's the magnificent Grand Central Terminal, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, the reborn World Trade Center, 9/11 Memorial, and many other famous places in between that will give you an understanding and sense of New York then and now. Your Interests: I also want to know about what you and your fellow travelers would like to do so that I can design a fun and memorable experience for you. As you consider your time in New York, don't hesitate to contact me with your questions and ideas for customizing a tour to match your goals and schedule. Thanks for your interest and let's have an amazing NYC walk and experience soon!

    Fantastic, Personalized Greenwich Village Tour with Jordan Our small group of four had an outstanding guided tour of Greenwich Village with Jordan. He tailored the experience to our interests from start to finish, weaving in geographic history, local stories, and cultural sites (like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, Electric Lady Studios, and Stonewall). His knowledge of...

    The pleasure was all mine! It's a true mark of a wonderful tour when I part the experience with new friends! Thank you all for being so much fun and for your interest in the great Greenwich Village. I sure hope we will meet again, and until then, I will finish the leftover pizza (I'm still workin on it).

    We had a lot of fun with Jordan. He made a custom tour of the East Village for us. He had a great attitude and good energy. He was very knowledgeable. He kept it engaging for all family members, aged 22 to 60+ .

    We had a great tour of Greenwich Village with Jordan. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and its rich history. We would highly recommend going on the tour with him. Also he had great restaurant recommendations. Steve, Cathy, Patty and Bobby.

    Thank you all for such a fun outing! I suppose we should all thank Bob Dylan for being the catalyst for our tour and conversations. It sounds like lunch was great and I hope to see you again soon.
