Growing up in New York City, I can't imagine living anywhere else. I usually walk around different neighborhoods when I'm off and, try new restaurants that I can afford. I'd love to share my personal New York City stories with you! Most popular tours of mine are history and food walking tours. I also conduct museum and driving tours. All can be customized to your itinerary and preferences. Like one dog year equals seven human years, one New York City day is seven days in other cities, if not more! People from all over the world come here "to make it", bringing their rich cultures along in the pursuit of many things besides happiness. America started right here in New York City! From the gleaming towers to hotdog stands, from the austere looking businessmen to subway artists, from the hustle bustle midtown to the serene Central Park, hop on my tours and let's explore! "London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it.

Overview of your New York City tour
Did you know that the New York Public Library Main Branch is a prime example of Gilded Age architecture, and Grand Central Terminal is widely regarded as a quintessential Gilded Age building? While almost all the interiors of the Fifth Avenue Gilded Age mansions are off-limits, this tour takes you inside these two magnificent New York City icons. We’ll also stop by the opulent J.P. Morgan House (now the Morgan Library & Museum), the grand Joseph Raphael De Lamar House (now the Polish Consulate General), and the distinctive James F.D. Lanier House (now for sale at $17.5 million). As we stroll along these institutions and mansions, feeling their awe, we’ll also sample flavors that break every old law of Gilded Age stuffiness by tasting delicious Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Thai delights, such as onigiri, kimbap, dumplings, satay, and more.
