I was born and raised in Brooklyn and lived in New York City all my life. (So I guess that makes me a native.) I've been conducting guided tours of NYC for over a decade and loved every single minute of it. Some of my favorite spots are Chinatown with the wonderful soup dumplings, Greenwich Village and the Bleecker Street nightlife, and Madison Square with the park and Flatiron Building. By the way, did you know that the first giraffes in America were exhibited in July 1838 in a vacant lot at 509 Broadway in SoHo? I love facts like that as well as the great history of this great town. Enjoy!
