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! "
