Tours & Activities in New York

Join me on an adventure through 3 of Downtown Manhattan’s most iconic neighborhoods! 

We begin in Greenwich Village- the beating Bohemian heart of New York. Next we’ll explore Soho- the quintessential artist’s enclave in the 1980’s, now the home of chic boutiques and the world's largest remaining collection of gorgeous cast iron buildings. We wrap things up in Nolita- a part of Little Italy until the 1990’s, this charming little neighborhood is home to mob history, New York’s only basilica, and the best cupcake in NYC (the “Little Cupcake Bakeshop.”) 

Every neighborhood in NYC has it’s own unique character- you’ll experience 3 in only 2 hours! We’ll talk history, architecture, culture and have a few laughs along the way. Come and spend some time with a real New Yorker- I’ll show you my favorite spots, and give you the real scoop on what it’s like to live in this glittering global city.
