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!

Why is Midtown Manhattan so remarkable? Because it's home to an astounding number of skyscrapers, transit hubs, arts institutions, companies, people, and sites known around the world from TV, movies and the news. On my Midtown Must-Sees walk you'll see many of the above thanks to the contained size and walkability of this business, entertainment, and increasingly residential New York neighborhood. We'll see and learn about the Art Deco Empire State and Chrysler buildings, beautiful Bryant Park and the unseen marvel below it, spectacular Grand Central Terminal, the teaming Times Square Theater District and much more. This experience is customizable, so let me know if you have your own must-sees. Some stops on the itinerary may be edited depending on your interests, the length of the tour and our tour pace. Also let me know if you have more than six participants, or if this is a work group, as adjusted pricing may apply.
Planned itinerary: -Empire State Building -Bryant Park -New York Public Library -Times Square/Theater District -Rockefeller Center -St. Patrick's Cathedral -Grand Central Terminal -Chrysler Building
