My full and personal attention. This tour can be as much of an informational walking tour as its a photo tour. I am willing to share my knowledge and experience of the West Village, the Meat Packing District, High Line and Chelsea along with the local art and cultural scene. And don't forget the identification of the many of High Lines's self-seeding plants. I am a community gardener as well as a photographer /artist of many decades in the city.
Parties larger than 8 please contact me.
Each tour will start with a 15 min meet time.
