Well it’s official, New York Local Tours is 2 years old today! It’s almost hard to believe that our company has only been around for such a short time. This morning Alex and I got up to vote, and we started to reflect on what an amazing year 2016 has been so far. We’re so grateful to all the new…
Summer really feels likes it over when the Coney Island Amusement Park closes down for the season. But, not everything in Coney Island goes to sleep for the winter, including our company, New York Local Tours. We will be giving an off-season tour in Coney Island called the Ghosts of Coney Island. Curious? Book us and hear all about it!…
The last month or so has been an absolute whirlwind for us, and I feel bad that I’ve been neglecting our blog. But things are finally calming down, and now have time to start writing again! First of all, Alex and I got married this past month! It was a perfect day, everyone sobbed (especially Alex and I) and…
Today, is the official 100th Birthday of the National Park Service! Happy Birthday! I know that many parks around the U.S. have been doing special stuff this whole year, but today, is a very special day, because on August 25th 1916 was the day that President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill that created the National Park Service, as a new…

We have started working with the Dutch Consulate here in NYC, and they attended our New Amsterdam tour. Incidentally, they know their Dutch history, and…

Sometimes you see them on the street, scavenging amongst the garbage. And if you are really unlucky, they get into your apartment, at which time you should move.…
This past week, Alex and I had a day off so we decided to play tourist and go visit Ellis Island as well as the Statue of Liberty. We learned a lot from our visit and how to get the most out of your experience. Consider this a how-to guide for getting to the Statue and Ellis Island. First, one of…
Back in February, I wrote about how much I just don’t get social media. It’s totally beyond my ability, and whenever I try to do anything it typically results in me embarrassing New York Local Tours, and my tears getting all over the keyboard. It’s a total mess, and not a whole lot has changed for me. Alex, on the…
Alex and I have been working on New York Local Tours for almost two years now, and things are going very smoothly. But its always nice to get a little nod in your direction, and get a little reassurance that, yes, you’re doing a good job. We’ve been listing our tours on a site called Viator for a while, and I…
