Practicing artist, student of tech and computer art. Have lived in New York for going on 8 years. I love how I keep finding cool treasures in the city. I’m from Texas. I have been giving tours of art and architecture for 10 years, working at modern art museums as well as New York City guided tours.
Join us on this ghoulish ¨off the beaten path ¨ multi-neighborhood stop tour and visit famous mansions, apartments, bars, hotels and churches of NYCs most fascinating legends, true crime and creepy tales.
We will be utilizing the subway and a crosstown bus with 5 trips moving us all over Manhattan! We will begin at Columbus Circle and visit the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Midtown, Chelsea and end in Hells Kitchen. Our real life stories involve 70s mob bosses, 90s era club kids, Punk Rockers, the perfect 50s Housewife, Irish gangs, fashion designers and more!
We will be visiting a few iconic sites : The Empire State Building, Colombus Circle, The Chelsea Hotel, and some cool buildings like the Dakota Building, fashion designer Halston’s chic townhouse as well as the Park Avenue Armory and a few lesser known crime scenes that all paint a great picture of classic New York City.

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
