I’m a Manhattan resident originally from small-town upstate New York.Married, dog and cat owner, inveterate walker, cyclist and explorer, I love history, talking to strangers, cracking puns, and showing people around New York, the greatest city in the world.After working for several years in news and PR, I became a licensed sightseeing guide.Since then I’ve given tours by bus, bike, on foot and even on pedicabs.I love a good chocolate and worked up the Chocolate Lovers’ Tour of Greenwich Village.I know the ins and outs of Chinatown, and its best dim sum.I volunteered after September 11, and tell personal stories of the World Trade Center.  I go to the Statue Of Liberty at least 100 times a year.I designed walking tours of Central Park, High Line Park, Greenwich Village, and Fort Tryon Park at the north end of Manhattan, home to the medieval-themed Cloisters Museum.I’d love to meet you, and show you this wonderful city.
