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

I'm a native New Yorker and I have a great love and knowledge of New York City from Broadway and all the major tourist attractions to Brooklyn and much lesser-known but no less interesting sites. I'm also a lower limb amputee and have access to wheelchair accessible vehicles and know how to navigate NYC's mass transit system with a wheelchair. I'll show you sites and tell you stories illustrating New York's rich history and the part it played in the American War of Independence as well as share my intimate knowledge of the film and television industry in New York and sites where TV shows and movies are filmed. I really enjoy showing people around my great city, like a friend or relative in New York. You're here to have a great time and that's what I'm going to give you!

Your New York City tour itinerary

We will see all the major sights of New York City from the comfort of a comfortable, well appointed wheelchair accessible van. Of course we'll step out of the vehicle in numerous spots to get a more in depth view. Some of the sights we'll see and places we'll visit include: - Central Park - Times Square & the Theater District - Grand Central Terminal & the Chrysler Building - The Empire State Building - The Flatiron Building - Greenwich Village - Soho, Little Italy & Chinatown - NYC's Municipal & Financial Districts - We'll see Wall Street & its famous Bull - We'll stop at the southern tip of Manhattan Island to view the Statue of Liberty - Then we'll pay our respects at 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!
