About me
Hello! I am an easygoing guy who took early retirement but want to get out and socialize and what better way to do it than show people the city! Many people are curious about Brooklyn but don't come over.

I am very knowledgeable, having lived for 25 years here in Brooklyn. I like to walk, with or without my dog, use public transit regularly so I am helpful there. I like people to tell me what they are most interested in so that I can best serve their needs. There are neighborhoods in Brooklyn many people don't know about.
My Offer
I would love to show you parts of the city, particularly Brooklyn, that don't get as much traffic from visitors. I like to take people into neighborhoods, have them try the food there, then get back on the subway and go someplace else.

Reviews
History by Nancy

Michael was amazing. Knowledgeable about history, culture, landmarks, and pop culture. A must do if you visit this amazing city.

Good-humored by Linda

Our guide, Michael, was very informative, careful about safety and social distancing, and good-humored. Our meeting gave us an intimate look at many amazing places that were off the beaten path and away from the crowds. Thanks again.

New friend by Jane

Highly recommend this booking a local on city surfing. My family was looking for something fun and different to do than a traditional tour and this may have been the best choice we’ve ever made. Not only did we see a lot of great places, but we just enjoyed hanging out with our new friend.

Lot of friends by Claire

Our host was marvelous. He gave us a fabulous overview of the entire city. We went shopping, on a photo walk and just had a blast. . He has a lot of friends and we met a lot of locals.

A local to hang out by Valerie

Booking a local to hang out with was a fantastic experience. Michael was a great host and really answered all our questions. I would highly recommend booking him if you swing by this amazing city.
