Hello! I'm David, a lifetime New Yorker and I'd love to show you around my city. The many journeys and experiences I've enjoyed here have only increased my love of my hometown. I have an advanced knowledge of its history and have participated in as well as led many walking tours here and around the world. I founded my catering and event planning business, Indiana Market & Catering, here over 35 years ago and have been featured many times in the New York Times, New York magazine and periodicals all over the country. I am also passionate about my teaching and public speaking career, currently teaching part-time at the Institute of Culinary Education, offering my background in restaurant management, customer service and leadership skills. Outside of these worlds, I've always found time to give back to my community in so many ways. I currently reside in the East Village but know the rest of this great city really well. Everyone should visit New York at least once in their lives to see it firsthand and explore its many pleasures and beauty. I promise to show you the well-known sights and intriguing hidden gems, as well as the best places to dine, buy, and have fun. On a tour with me, you can be assured to get a wonderful mix of knowledge and excitement to create unique, life-changing New York experiences. I'm looking forward to showing you around the place I call home.

Explore New York City as a true New Yorker does: on foot! Enjoy this unique opportunity to explore NYC with me, a lifelong resident who is eager to share the city's gems with you! Join me on this curated tour as we stroll through an elevated urban oasis, admire unique art installations, enjoy iconic vistas, and immerse ourselves through one of the most storied neighborhoods in New York. Together, we'll encounter iconic landmarks, relish in local delicacies, and enjoy some of downtown's world-class attractions. Highlights include walking through the spectacular High Line with its outdoor art installations and its stunning city views; visiting Chelsea Market; being charmed by the streets of Greenwich Village; and visiting the historic 9/11 Memorial, One World Trade Center, and the Oculus. When the tour concludes, you'll walk away feeling like a New Yorker with a deeper appreciation for the city that keeps reinventing itself. I look forward to having you join me on this journey.
What a great tour! We had lots of fun and learned a bunch. David's knowledge of NYC and general history is fantastic! We've visited NYC many times and don't take the time to learn more about different neighborhoods and general sights. We're so happy that we booked a tour with David. His passion and energy about NYC is contagious. If you're considering a NYC tour, book with David! David's knowledge is presented in a clear, concise manner and he exudes thoughtfulness! Book him!!
David was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and personable. We were with our three teenage children and they all found the tour interesting and David fun and engaging. He tailored the tour to our specific interests and totally made the day for our girls by taking us to Cornelia Street (they are big Taylor Swift fans). Would highly recommend David for a tour if you are ever in NYC!
We arranged a tour for our West Coast team visiting our NY office, aiming for an unforgettable experience, and David surpassed expectations. His flexible, easy-going, & friendly demeanor assured us the team would be in excellent hands. The team LOVED him, and as a New Yorker, I highly recommend booking David for anyone seeking a responsive, approachable, and knowledgeable guide. Whether you are visiting or are a local, David will provide what you are looking for with his expertise and kindness.
• We'll begin our tour in the High Line. Once a functional freight rail line and now a raised public park on Manhattan's West Side, the High Line is a masterpiece of urban green design offering outdoor art installations, gorgeous views of the Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center, the Hudson River and its newest attractions: Pier 57, Little Island, Gansevoort Peninsula and Beach. Its peaceful gardens are great for photos and people-watching! • After, we will make our way to Chelsea Market, the first home of the Oreo cookie factory as well as dozens of unique restaurants and boutiques • Then, we'll stroll the charming streets of Greenwich Village, filled with storied architecture and establishments and visit the iconic "Friends" and "Sex and the City" apartment buildings • We'll end the tour at the World Trade Center taking in the reflecting pools at the 9/11 Memorial and enjoying the Oculus—the most beautiful subway station in the world I am happy to adjust the itinerary to best fit your specific interests.
