Overview

See the highlights of Midtown Manhattan through the eyes of a local. I will weave my own story into the story of midtown, tell you about the changes I have seen since I have lived here, show you some different routes to walk around town to avoid the busiest areas and point out fun details at every stop. I am not a historian! This will not feel like a history lesson - I am a huge comedy fan, so I love sharing the funniest stories I know. New York City's history is created every single day - let's make some history together by having the most fun tour of all time.
