A wonderful day exploring NYC with Earl!
"My daughter and I had a wonderful time exploring Chinatown and Little Italy with this very personable and knowledgeable guide. Earl was perfect - he gave us much insight into the history of the areas we visited and engaged in discussion about so many things. There was not one dull moment! I would highly recommend having Earl show you around - even though I have lived in the City previously I learned so much! Thank you Earl! "

Tastes of NYC
"Earl was a fastic guide. Wandering the streets of little Italy and Chinatown, his tour was full of local history and amazing food. Food, that we simply, would never have found on our own.
With his great knowledge and tips for the rest of our stay in New York City, I simply can't recommend Earl, and his tour enough."
