We explore neighborhoods, recount history and study contrasts—uncovering the true New York, that’s melted into pizza slices, hidden in subways, and carried in the ever-changing stories of its 8 million people. From the swankiest stretches of Fifth Avenue to the grimiest of graffitied alleys, we share tales passed down from our grandparents, gleaned from books, and whispered on street corners.

I love New York City because it is a place of endless possibilities and endless stories. The last time I visited New York City I tried one of Streetwise NY’s walking tours. It felt like I was seeing New York for the first time. I took their Immigrant tour with Andrew as the guide. We visited the Lower East Side... More

Andrew tailored the tour to our interest in new immigrant neighborhoods, outside of Manhattan and was very receptive to our requests and schedule. He really knows the neighborhoods of Jackson Heights, Elmhurst and Astoria, and is well connected with local shopowners, restaurants and community figures. He maintained the right balance of providing information and making the tour flexible enough to... More

Dan was fantastic! My friends and I wanted to tour SoHo and Chelsea, and he showed us places we'd surely miss if we were on a bus. The Chinese market was especially interesting, and we loved the historical buildings and the walk through the beautiful neighborhoods. Thanks for the rice ball! This is a must-do, and I will recommend Streetwise... More

Hiring this company to show you New York City is the absolute best way to go. My husband and I hired Streetwise Tours to show us the city on our first day. Our tour guide, Dan, met us at our hotel (right on time!), and proceeded to give us a tour we'll never forget. He tailored it to our interests,... More

We can't say enough great things about the three hour tour we spent with Andrew. We try to take a yearly tour when we visit NYC and have always enjoyed the others. The tour included the East Village, Lower Eastside, Chinatown, and Little Italy. Andrew really takes you back over a hundred years and explains how the immigrants lived and... More

We took the tour about immigrants in New York with Andrew. I highly recommend Andrew if you can get him personally. He had great information and completely accommodated us. We had one person in our group who couldn't walk far and Andrew asked us what the most important things were that we wanted to see, mapped those things with the... More

My sister came from Ecuador for a short visit so I took her for a 3 hour customized tour of Manhattan, starting at Chelsea Market and finishing at Washington sq park. We had an awesome time, never thought I could learn so much of this City in few hours. Andrew; our guide, made this experience unforgettable! More

I went on this tour with my sister. Both of us have been living in New York for some time and we’ve heard a million stories from our grandparents and parents about the time when they lived in the City. Going on this tour allowed me to expand my view, feel and imagine not only the stories of past times,... More

Queens, half of whose residents are foreign-born, is a polyglot mix where a vibrant strip of Latin American food vendors is sandwiched between blocks of Indo-Pakistani and Nepali-Tibetan shops, as well as a row of Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese eateries. But neighborhoods like Astoria and Jackson Heights in Queens – considered the most multi-culturally diverse neighborhood in the world –... More
