We all have a friend who we turn to for guidance on where to eat. I’m that friend not just for my social circle but for thousands of visitors to New York.

After moving to the city to pursue an acting career and working in many restaurants, I started a food blog and video series to explore the local New York food scene. And not just the latest hotspots and cutting edge cuisine, but the real New York spots. The local iconic pizzerias, bagel shops, and bodegas that are part of what make this city what it is.

From that, I fell into tour guiding and have been leading both locals and visitors around the city to explore food surprises and wonderful local businesses for close to 2 decades.

Hundreds of tours later (and glowing reviews), I am tirelessly eager to meet more incredible travelers and show them the New York food scene through a true local perspective.

I have a strong passion and commitment to sustainability, local businesses, and responsibly sharing New York with everybody that walks the pavement of this concrete jungle.

Even if you don’t join me for a tour (and I do hope you will), I’m always happy to share food and drink recommendations. Don’t hesitate to drop me a line at eatthisnyc@gmail.com
