Ready to see a side of the city that's not in the guidebooks? My name is Jeff, and as a local resident, I've spent years uncovering the strange, forgotten, and fascinating facts that make New York City so enchanting. These aren't your average tours; we're going to dive deep into the hidden layers of history that exist just beneath the surface of everyday life.

We'll wander through iconic neighborhoods, but instead of just pointing out the famous landmarks, I'll share the curious and surprising stories connected to them. We'll discover the secrets hidden in plain sight, the remnants of vanished buildings, and the quirky details that most people walk right past. Together we'll uncover the secrets that turn familiar places into sources of endless fascination.

My tours are designed for the curious—for the people who want to know the "why" and the "what if" behind the city's grand narrative. I've spent years researching archives and exploring every nook and cranny to bring you a tour that is genuinely different. We'll skip the basic information and focus on the "wow" moments—the small plaques, the odd architectural details, and the historical footnotes that make Manhattan so special. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a lifelong New Yorker, you'll be amazed by what you learn - and what is most important - I make sure we do this in an AFFORDABLE way for you!!

Join me, and let's go beyond the (usual) sights to discover a more intricate, surprising, and wonderful side of New York.
