Call me Slava. Like many New Yorkers I have moved here from somewhere else (Ukraine by way of Boston in 2010). It is here that my love for history has blossomed and it is here that I have chosen to make my home forever: New York or nowhere! This is a great city historically, so much of the timeline of human condition can be traced through the streets and neighborhood of New York City. Everything is connected and I am fascinated with finding the tendencies, the hidden movements, the influences of cultural phenomena that brought us to today. And I love to share so buckle up and I will take you through centuries of colonial history in the modern Financial District, the blossoming and fading of Bohemia in Greenwich Village, the nature of the SoHo Effect as it happened first in SoHo and TriBeCa, architectural curiosities of real estate development around Hudson Yards and Chelsea, creation and adaptation of Central Park, the stages of culinary history of New York and so much more. I pride myself on my ability to customize my guests' experiences so please let me know if you'd like to include or exclude something specific, let's talk.

    Slava was a great tour guide - my teens and I enjoyed it very much! We visited several interesting, ethnic food establishments and we were stuffed! The only thing I would suggest if possible is having a few more places to sit down and eat if possible and maybe 1 more bathroom stop. I know this is hard in NYC but it would be awesome if it could be accomodated!

    We had a great experience with Slava as our tour guide. The food he introduces us to was delicious and unique and Slava was very informative and personable throughout the tour. Highly recommend!

    We had a great tour with Slava! He was very knowledgeable on history of the city and taught us so much. He also was accommodating when we wanted to stop and take pictures or look at a site more closely. We had two adults and two young children and he was also entertaining to the children. I cannot recommend Slava and this tour enough!
