If you want to travel with someone who considers himself a tourist in his own town, please reach out to me. I find that some of the more interesting things to do in the city are free or close to it: walking the Brooklyn Bridge, taking the Staten Island ferry, exploring Central Park, etc. I am a member of Museum of Natural History as well as NY Historical Society and can bring guests for free. We can end our visit with a stop at one of the city's oldest pubs, for a libation and/or a bite to eat.
