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!

That started here? He did that there! We're standing on what? On this Greenwich Village tour, you'll be inspired and awed by one cool and consequential occurrence after another, across this hip, historic and world-famous neighbourhood where I've lived for 25 years. From Washington, Hitchcock, Ross and Phoebe, to human rights, architectural oddities and living off the grid, the Village has been a destination for influencers, artists, activists and people who want to find themselves, be themselves, and realize their dreams. We'll visit the actual places where history was made, you'll walk the city's storied streets, and you'll walk away wanting more of this mighty slice of the Big Apple. "I'M A NEW YORKER AND I NOW APPRECIATE THE CITY SO MUCH MORE! THANK YOU JORDAN!" Book this tour at the start of your trip because you'll want to return to places we visit. Special requests? Let me know if you want to see or learn about specific sites, or have lunch or coffee at one of my favorite Village spots.

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 neighborhood was exceptional, and he presented everything with familiarity and at just the right pace. What really set this tour apart was the personal touch. Jordan took the time to get to know us and adjusted the route and depth of detail accordingly, so nothing felt canned or rushed. He also went the extra mile by recommending an incredible pizza place nearby, which turned out to be one of our favorite meals of the trip (and taught us how to avoid the line like a local). If you’re looking for a tour that’s informative, engaging, and genuinely customized, Jordan is the guide you want. Highly recommend!
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.
We loved this tour and left feeling almost like a local!
Jordan leads a delightful historical tour of Greenwich Village. We learned so much from him while walking from site to site. It's a nice little Manhattan outing full of fun facts in one of NYC's most interesting and lively neighborhoods. Highly recommend!
