I have been guiding in NYC for over ten years. With a background in acting, I have learned to bring my all to every tour as if it were a stage performance. My expertise covers every Manhattan neighbourhood as well as many in Brooklyn. Are you perhaps looking for food tours? I got you covered. Do you want to see Midtown Manhattan, Harlem, Lower Manhattan, or the Brooklyn Bridge? Get ready to see the sights with me! We can make everything into a part of your vacation that will all comes together with a sharp sense of humor and a gentle heart. During the last decade, I have put a great deal of effort in studying the events of 9/11 with a focus on the stories of individuals from that day, and the specifics on how the building collapsed. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to create a customized experience for your time in New York, I'll be happy to elaborate a tour that covers all your interests and preferences!

A delicious taste through the Jewish and modern history of one of NYCs greatest historic neighborhoods
Overview of your New York City tour
The Lower East Side is the place that many Irish, and later Jewish immigrants called home. On this tour our guests will enjoy the taste of a delicious variety of potato knishes, sweet sorbet and gelato from one of NYCs most popular spots, discount candy shopping, delicious empanadas, your choice of pork or veggie dumplings, or scallion pancakes, an enourmous variety of pickles, and deluxe bagels, yur choice of plain, creamcheese, or lox. A variety of desserts awaits you! If the candy from earlier wasn’t enough, why not enjoy delicious sugar cookies, cupcakes or doughnuts? You’ll see the sights of Katz's delicatessen, Russ and daughters, the Red Square Hotel, Angel Orensanz Center, the original and new Essex markets, and the Williamsburg bridge. This tour does not guarantee that we will go inside of any of these locations, but entrance to the Essex market is very likely.
