Overview

Walk with me through glittering Midtown Manhattan! I’ll show you the secrets of beautiful Grand Central, the New York Public Library, and Bryant Park. We’ll see Times Square, where I'll give you not just the history, but the ins and outs of getting budget Broadway tickets. We’ll end in Hell’s Kitchen- a treasure trove of REAL New York City restaurants, bars and shops - the ones 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 about theater, restaurants and nightlife, art and architecture, 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, with 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!

Meeting point

In front of the Shake Shack in the food court of Grand Central Terminal

On arrival

In front of the Shake Shack in the food court of Grand Central Terminal. If taking the subway, you can take the 4,5,or 6 train (green line), the 7 train (purple line) or the S train (gray line) to Grand Central Station. You can also take the BDFM (orange line) to 42nd St Bryant park and walk 2 blocks East on 42nd. If walking, Grand Central is located at 42nd st between Madison and Lexington. It's a huge train station, so when you get there, you may need a few minutes to find your way to the food court which is downstairs on the basement leve. I will meet you in the food court on the LOWER LEVEL of Grand Central Terminal, in front of the Shake Shack-
Look for the lady with long platinum hair and the red flag.

Things to note

Grand Central is bigger than you may think. Please allow extra time to find your way to the meet-up.
