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.
