I'm a native New Yorker and I have a great love and knowledge of New York City, from Times Square and The Great White Way to Brooklyn and many lesser-known but no less interesting sites. We can visit Harlem, the home of Jazz in NYC and of course the Battery to view the Statue of Liberty. All of New York's neighborhoods have a story to tell - from Wall Street to Central Park West where many celebrities dwell. I tell true and fascinating stories of New York's past and more recent history. I'll give you something to write home about. Please contact me through ToursByLocals messaging before booking a tour in case I forgotten to mark my unavailability!

Overview of your New York City tour

Join me in exploring New York City, the city I grew up in and the one you know from movies and TV. We'll see quite a few locations you may recognize of course, such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, the "Law & Order" courthouse & even One Police Plaza (or 1PP as Blue Bloods fans call it). In fact, NYC Is where the movie business started & most movie studio's corporate offices are still located here. Beyond all the movie and TV locations, NYC is rich in American history. The first battle in the US war for independence, after the declaration of independence was signed, occurred in Brooklyn in the summer of 1776. The Federal Hall Building on Wall St is where George Washington took the oath of office as the nation's first president, at the time New York City was the US Capitol. Alexander Hamilton is entombed a short block away from Federal Hall. In short, New York City is the World's Capital City. If you lived during the height of the Roman Empire, wouldn't you want to visit the city of Rome?

Your New York City tour itinerary

Some of the sites we visit may include; A short stroll in Central Park, a stop at Rockefeller Center, an exploration of Grand Central Terminal, & the best view of the Empire State Building. We may also stop in: Greenwich Village - original home of NYC's beats, SoHo - a former industrial district, now a very posh shopping and residential neighborhood. We'll see Chinatown & Little Italy - Manhattan's most vibrant ethnic neighborhoods. We'll hit Battery Park for a view of the Statue of Liberty, the South Street Seaport - NYC's first world trade center and finally the 9/11 Memorial. ** Disclaimer; If I must travel to you anywhere outside of Manhattan, Western Queens or North West Brooklyn, part of that travel time will count towards the stated tour time. Please contact me through the message feature here on ToursByLocals site before you book!
