Greetings All: My name is Joseph and I am a Travel enthusiast, melophile (lover of music) and historian, I have been a New York City resident since birth splitting my upbringing between the Bronx and Harlem. I discovered at a young age that there was so much more to NYC than just the city. As a teenager, I navigated the five boroughs both on foot and by way of public transportation while learning about the many experiences and cultures in the process. With over 20 years of experience in the tourism and hospitality industries, my ultimate goal is to preserve the unique history and culture of NYC by curating tours and experiences aimed at educating the curious minds about the untapped history that makes this vast metropolis so special. ALL tours and experiences can be customized and curated to meet personal interests.

More than just the city - Half-day walking tour
Overview of your New York City tour
When visiting New York, Manhattan is often in the spotlight, but it's the outer boroughs that are working behind the scenes! The northernmost borough of the city and the only borough connected inland, The Bronx not only boasts the origins of Hip-Hop, but it is also home to the world renowned New York Yankees. Brooklyn has become just as popular (if not more) as Manhattan by being a premier choice of residency to people from all walks of life. As one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, Queens boasts incredible ethnic foods in Jackson Heights and Corona. Often referred to as the "forgotten borough", Staten Island has an unheralded importance to the development of New York City. Home to beautiful parks and a wide variety of cultural and dining experiences, in this tour, you will discover that the outer boroughs offer a bit more breathing room than the often cramped island of Manhattan. Each neighborhood has its own identity, culture and historical significance. Let me show you all of it!
