Experience the real Brooklyn with me! Many people want to visit Brooklyn but just don't know where to start. I am here to change that: I will show you five completely different sides of Brooklyn in five different neighborhoods.

Brooklyn Bridge Tour, but with yelling
So, uh, why does New York build "really, really big things?" We tend to do that a lot.
This is a fast-paced & funny walking essay that explores the answers to that question through the story of the Brooklyn Bridge. And to do so, we have to look the historical stories of immigration, engineering and political machines.
With this tour, we use the bridge and it's bloody, weird history to get a deeper understanding of what is not only New York City, but what makes any city a city.
Other things to note
- This will be a mile of walking, with frequent breaks so be prepared to do a little exercise.
- We will not end the tour where we start, but in a neighborhood called DUMBO where there will be many transportation options to easily get you where you need to go.
Prohibition History & Drinks Tour in Midtown
Welcome to the Drinking and History
Walk with us through Midtown New York as we retrace the immigrant progress toward the American Dream during Prohibition.

Also, we’ll explore the catalysts behind Prohibition and focus on the women of the Gilded Age, and the movement that gave rise to an oil king. To round off our journey together, we'll take you around the edge of Times Square and finally we’ll discuss the demise of Prohibition over cocktails at our last venue stop.
You will be guided by myself or one of my well trained colleagues.

Can’t decide between a bar crawl and a food tour whilst you’re in New York? Then why not join an experience that does both!
On the Beers, Burgers and Buns experience we will do just what the title suggests - drink cold beer (or wine), eat delicious burgers, and bite into some (chicken) buns – as we walk through the fascinating neighborhood of the East Village.
Along the way we’ll visit three unique bars and two dining spots, plus we’ll learn about the fascinating history of New York City – from the prohibition era to today – and hear the stories of the people behind the food and drink you will be enjoying. What more could you ask for?

New Yorkers know that the East Village is the city's very best neighborhood for food and drink, with hundreds of restaurants offering food from every region of the world. Our tour gives you a taste of the delights that can be found here, and along the way, we'll tell some delightful stories about the businesses we visit and fill you in on a little of the area's unique history.
First up are Ukrainian varenyky. This is a somewhat hidden spot in the basement of a side street that few tourists (or New Yorkers) are aware of.
We will then make our way over to St. Marks Place where I talk a little about the importance of the street and the many changes its seen over the years, and have a taste of a classic street food originally from the Middle East.
Next we walk through adjacent Little Japan. I talk about how it became such a destination for lovers of Japanese food and culture before we try a distinctive dish from Japan.
Fourth we have take down some tacos as I talk about the evolution (and great improvement) of Mexican food in NYC.
Finally, we end at local institution Ray's Candy for some deep fried oreos.
All food is included in price.
This tour is great for groups of all sizes -- couples, friends, families. It's also a fun option for work teams and great for team-building.

From the grand cast-iron maidens in SoHo to the tenements of the Lower East Side, from the bustling streets of Chinatown to the delicious tasty treats found in Little Italy, we’ll dive into the histories and personalities that make these some of the most important neighborhoods in the world. Along the way we will see murals created for LISA Project NYC by internationally-famous street artists and learn about the process and stories behind each piece. Who knows, we might get lucky and catch an artist at work!
NYC has always been the world’s creative epicenter. We love exploring with travelers, and we invite LOCALS to be a tourist in your own city and see the artistic spirit of Lower Manhattan.
By booking your tour, you’re also giving back by supporting LISA Project NYC – a city-based, public art charity creating beautiful murals and raising awareness for local issues via this artistic medium.
Afterwards, stop in to one of the lovely small businesses or grab a delicious lunch when the tour ends in Little Italy. You won’t be disappointed, and you can take pride investing back in the community.
Everyone loves this tour! Kids, dates, dogs, students, your Pandemic Pod… we’ll make sure you have a great time. Mask up, bring your friends, have some high-quality, socially-distanced fun!

This unique three-part, 3 hours, walking tour will begin where Manhattan began - at the National Museum of the American Indian. Each part of the tour will last approximately 1 hour. This first leg of the tour will start in Lower Manhattan. Specifically, Bowling Green, where the first enslaved Africans started building the infrastructure of the city, and end at Wall St where the enslaved Africans were brought and sold.
The second leg of the tour will start in the Financial District. We will walk up Wall St to Federal Hall - a site next to a famous free African who owned and operated a famous Oyster House in 1825.
The last leg will start around the Brooklyn Bridge, including the African Burial Ground National Monument plaza.
This tour is great for groups, team-building, field trips, and it's especially beneficial for school-age children.
Depending on the mood and convenience of the group we can stop for snacks, at any time.
Each location is based on a specific chapter in my book. There will be several restroom breaks.
Please note - Finding parking is extremely difficult in Lower Manhattan. Indoor garages will cost between $35-40. I advise using public transportation or car service.
