What you’ll do
New York has always been better at keeping secrets than people give it credit for, with Central Park, Harlem, and the Upper West Side holding stories most New Yorkers have never heard. Join us as we trace them together, from a prison that once sat quietly beside the park to Houdini’s Harlem home, a Titanic memorial, protest grounds, and graffiti-filled tunnels beneath the city. Expect hills, hidden landmarks, and a curious side of NYC you’ll want to explore again and again.

I’m K, a New York-based historian and writer who focuses on how cities handle death, burial, and disease—topics that reveal the hidden machinery of everyday life. I founded Purefinder New York to share the city’s forgotten corners. My tours blend an outsider’s curiosity and a local’s dedication to exploring the places most people walk past without a second thought, from lost cemeteries to abandoned institutions. I’d love to share some raw, real, and rarely told stories with you.
