Hello, I'm Beth, a long-term Upper West Side resident and a New York City history lover. The city's history is my passion and to this day I continually learn fascinating tidbits about my home. Thanks to my work both as an employee of the Central Park Conservancy and as a volunteer, I am a Central Park specialist, but beyond that, I lead tours all over the city, including Grand Central Terminal, Upper West Side & Downtown. I also conduct bird watching and bus tours. My interests are quite eclectic: the Gilded Age, bird watching, film, theater, live music, architecture, and more. All of these add dimension and an entertaining breadth and scope to my tours. ALL of my tours and experiences may be customized and curated to meet your personal interests. Feel free to ask me any questions!

Overview of your New York City tour

Central Park is probably not top-of-mind to most when thinking about LGBTQ Pride in the city. However, the city’s famous green space not only played a significant role in LGBTQ culture, but it also benefitted from the creativity of queer artists who are mostly unknown to us in the 21st century.
