Tour description

Take a walk with me through glittering, bustling Midtown Manhattan! I’ll show you the secrets of beautiful Grand Central Terminal, the New York Public Library, and Bryant Park. We’ll see Times Square, where I will give you not just the history, but the ins and outs of getting budget Broadway and Off-Broadway tickets. We’ll end our stroll in Hell’s Kitchen- a treasure trove of REAL New York City restaurants, bars and shops- the one’s that locals love. Finally, I will drop you off on 9th ave, where you will find great pizza, bagels,  old school diners, Thai, American Southern, BBQ, one of the best classic dive bars left in Midtown, a 110 year old Greek bakery, and the BEST cookie shop  in NYC, all within the same 2 blocks…and JUST IN TIME FOR LUNCH:)! 

 

I’ve been a New Yorker for almost 30 years, and I’ll give you not just the important history, but the current culture as well. We’ll talk theater, restaurants and nightlife, art and architecure, as well as my own personal experiences with the area. I’ll give you tips on how to navigate the city more smoothly, and explain the mysterious ways of the New Yorker to you, and we’ll find time for some laughs along the way…I love NYC with all my heart, and I can’t wait to share my knowledge with you!
