Walk, talk and learn with me
Hi, I’m Jordan, a licensed New York City tour guide with a master's degree in education and experience as an NYC event producer. I love New York, have lived here for 35 years, and have led walking tours for most of my NYC life.
I’m also a stress management expert, went to NYU, taught at Columbia, lived through 9/11, and even argued with the real Soup Nazi (Seinfeld) — all of which enrich my knowledge of New York's unique culture and craziness.
Nothing makes me happier than sharing the city’s astonishing sites and sparking awe for visitors and New Yorkers alike. So, let’s have an amazing NYC walk and experience!
