I am a life-long New Yorker, and a 5-borough enthusiast (the history, architecture, geography, art, green spaces, and secret spots). My goal as a guide is to make you just as at home here as a local does. My tours help you explore and take a deeper appreciation of my city's architecture, art, history, and culture. I specialize in walking tours, small-groups only, especially for those who are looking for a deep dive or something off the beaten path. These tour model also now ensures the safest way to explore a city. I believe that a tour isn't just about seeing a place; it's about experiencing it, on the ground. New York City has so many sights to see, and so many ways to see them. Maps, guide books, etc, can cover only the basics. I aim to offer something more personal and fun. . . and ultimately memorable. The beauty of New York is that no matter how many times you have visited, or how long you lived here, there are always new places to discover. I have a passion for my city, and I know that you will too after your time with me. Licensed New York City Sightseeing Guide by the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs Board Member, Guides Association of NYC (GANYC) I have been interviewed by NY1 News, Medium.com, and Metro. All tours are designed for exploration on foot, the truly local way to experience NYC, using public transit or Uber where needed. A driver to the starting location can be arranged on request, if absolutely necessary, or I can accompany you in your vehicle.

Uncover the beauty of the Bronx's Grand Concourse in two hours on this NYC tour!
Overview of your New York City tour
This walking tour will explore the oft-ignored history and architecture of The Bronx. This borough contains the city's largest collection of Art Deco residential buildings. Discover these unique buildings on a walking tour of a stunning historic district! I truly love Art Deco design and architecture and love to help visitors to our city, or even locals, discover the city's many buildings in this style. I created this tour to show you what I think are the best such buildings in the Bronx, and to give you details and insight into each. The tour will meet by historic Yankee Stadium, the Bronx's most famous icon. From there we will meander through the streets and discuss the borough's unique history, and see the area's beautiful architecture. Learn of the grand plans by a French architect for a Champs-Élysées style boulevard in the Bronx, and a wave of amazing Art Deco architecture it brought with it. Looking forward to showing you the beauty of the Bronx!
