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.

Discover history & culture in Manhattan's most famous historic district!
Overview of your New York City tour
Greenwich Village is one of the most diverse and beautiful historic districts in the city. And famous! On our walk, we'll see how it evolved from a rural village to a progressive, bohemian cultural center in the 1950s and '60s to its preservation and changes today. See landmarks from Washington Square Park to the "Friends" building to historic Stonewall Inn to 200 year old homes, and more! We will also pass by the hip cafes & food spots of Bleecker St, perfect to grab a snack along the way. Like many New Yorkers, I have fond memories from my youth through my adulthood wandering these streets. I will explain the history of this famous neighborhood, with old photos for reference. We will see its quiet & leafy residential streets and its busy commercial stretches. I will also take your questions as you walk, as only a local can, and make sure you understand why the Village has captured imaginations for centuries.
