ABOUT CityBeautifulBlog

CityBeautifulBlog is where I share the stories I discover about New York — the architectural quirks, forgotten histories, and everyday moments that bring the city to life. After many years studying art and architectural history, I created this space for curious travelers, architecture lovers, and anyone who wants to understand the city beyond its surface.

Here, you’ll find neighborhood deep dives, tales of remarkable New Yorkers, and explorations of the places most people pass without noticing.

CityBeautifulTours is my way of sharing the New York I’ve spent years studying, walking, and falling in love with. With over 15 years of guiding experience — and a background in architectural history and storytelling — I design audio tours, itineraries, and private walks that bring the city’s past to life.

My audio tours let you wander freely while still moving through a thoughtfully crafted story. You can pause, explore, and linger wherever curiosity pulls you. If you prefer something more structured, my itineraries guide you through full days of discovery, and my private tours let us dive even deeper into the neighborhoods and histories you care about most.

This blog is for travelers who want more than sights — it’s for those who want to understand the city’s soul.
