Hello Everyone and a Very Happy New Year!

Well, I’m optimistic about 2022 for tourism. As this current Omicron variant wanes, I’m receiving requests for the upcoming season of visitors to the Big Apple! People have had enough of the sedentary life. They just want to move on as before. Traveling is one way to wake up your senses. Curiosity has always been a great motivator and New York City certainly has enough attractions to fulfill that need.

Have you had any tours yet?

Yes. I actually had a group this past December for four days. In fact, they were to come here in December of 2020, but with the lockdown everything was cancelled. I kept in touch with my client though. It was challenging to work with the proverbial blindfold. But we stayed optimistic and as things opened up, we worked to create a terrific 2021 Christmas theme tour to include the Rockettes and the Christmas Spectacular, the Christmas Tree decorated with Neapolitan Baroque Figures at the Metropolitan Museum. They had dinner each night in festive restaurants — one of which was historic Fraunces Tavern. We covered the Christmas Markets, a couple of Broadway Shows, and many other seasonal venues.

Also, in December, I did one of my Zigzag Walking Tours with a very spirited young couple from Virginia. We started in Chinatown and ended up on Little Island three hours later. We go way back. I’ve done many walking tours with the parents of the young man over the years. He was a teenager then.

Are you currently working on a tour?

I am booking. Was to do a tour this January but is now rescheduled for March. Have tours scheduled for May. And have more requests coming in. So all in all things are looking good for this year!
