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.

Overview of your New York City tour
The Metropolitan Museum of Art tells the story of human civilization with over two million art works and artifacts in one million square feet of gallery space. Of course, we won't see everything, if you want to do that you must go every day for a month from opening at 10 am to closing at 6 pm and spend one minute viewing every object! But I will give you a fair sampling of many different cultures and time periods. This tour is also customizable, within the confines of the museum of course. You can choose specific galleries, periods, and mediums to explore.
