Hello! A New Yorker for almost 30 years, I’m a storyteller, comedian, history lover, and licensed NYC “Gold Star”(the top recommendation of the NY Dept. of Consumer Affairs) Tour Guide. Can’t wait to show you my beautiful city, tell you my favorite tales, and give you the REAL nitty gritty on this gritty city!
Join me for an evening you’ll never forget! We begin our journey in Lower Manhattan, hitting famous highlights like Wall St, St Paul’s Chapel, the Oculus, Zucotti Park (the home of “Occupy Wall Street”) and Trinity Church. We’ll have an extensive exploration of the 9-11 Memorial, and the new World Trade Center site. From there we’ll head up historic Broadway and the “Canyon of Heroes” to City Hall Park. Then finally, I will lead you out across the Brooklyn Bridge, where you will see the unforgettable view of the famous Manhattan skyline, bathed in sunset colors, as the thousand tiny lights of NYC night twinkle to life.
I will meet you on the Wall St side of Federal Hall, near the George Washington Statue. Look for the lady with long platinum hair and an orange umbrella!
