THE way to come face-to-face with New York is to walk it! For a guide, I heartily recommend Bill Goodhart, an avid born-and-bred New Yorker.

Oxford-educated, former teacher and continual student of NYC’s rich history and lore, Bill fell in love with New York by literally taking to the streets and running through all the neighborhoods. But don’t worry, he can be somewhat less athletic with you and yours!

I discovered so many secrets of NYC during the 15 years I lived there while wandering its streets with Bill. Infused with his enthusiasm, I learned to really enjoy this great city! (And that was a challenge, since I’d moved abruptly from the paradise of Santa Barbara CA!) I learned from him that NYC is friendlier and more available than I’d ever imagined. To be with him is to relax in this busiest of all cities! Bill has intimate knowledge of the city’s neighborhoods, and chatty stories about many of its famous and infamous (!) inhabitants, so join him for a stroll through:

• Greenwich Village • Chinatown • Harlem • Ft. Tryon - Cloisters • Times Square • Upper East Side • Central Park • Wall St, Battery Park, Ground Zero • Ellis Island • Many other vital and wonderful neighborhoods, museums and landmarks!
