About

• I am eager to share my knowledge and experience in the East Village (and downtown Manhattan) which I have resided for the past four decades and where I have participated in many cultural, political, and social movements. The more I walk these streets the more I yearn to know the city before my time along with keeping up with the latest trends.

• Parties larger than 8 please contact me.

• Each tour will include a 15 min meet time.
