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!

The Oscar-nominated movie "A Complete Unknown" comes to life on this outta sight tour! Many of the apartments, clubs, hotels, and album cover locations where Bob Dylan hung out are still here, waiting for you to see and strike a pose with on this far-out experience that will take you back to 1960s Greenwich Village. When 19-year-old Robert Zimmerman blew this scene in Minnesota and split to Manhattan, he became a reluctant superstar, soaking in the vibes of this epicenter of music and counterculture. Together, he and the Village changed the times—and the world. Along the way, we’ll “meet” Joan Baez, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, and—if we’re lucky—catch Timothée Chalamet and Dylan lookalikes doing their thing in legendary Washington Square Park. This tour is such a gas that you’ll dig every second of it! Really blow your mind by seeing and even crashing in the same pad where Dylan lived, loved and lyricized (ask about this special customization experience and additional cost). Peace
Here's where it's happening: -Washington Square Park -The hotel where Dylan lived with Joan Baez -The very first club where he performed -The spot where he frequently crashed -Dylan's first NYC apartment -The place where he wrote "Blowin' In The Wind," An iconic Dylan album cover location (an amazing photo-op)
