Last tour of 2025 is in the books. I had a lot of fun, created a new tour, and met a lot of great people. Hoping to share new views of the city in 2026!

Who’s the nutter who leads a tour on Christmas Day? This one! was super busy today but our group enjoyed a lovely and festive walk through the terminal.

It’s cold out, it’s nearly Christmas, and Grand Central Terminal is at its prettiest. I’m leading a tour of the terminal for Bowery Boys Walking Tours this Saturday, 12/20. Come in from the cold and see how beautiful and fascinating the world’s largest train terminal really is! Check the Bowery Boys page to register.🎄

Took me long enough to share my account of a very enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner. 😳. Because my friend and I were both Thanksgiving orphans this year, and I was scheduled to lead a Grand Central tour that afternoon, I thought a meal afterward at the restaurant right in the terminal would be just the ticket.

Brilliant idea because the food and the cocktails were delicious and the restaurant itself was beautifully-decorated for the holidays. Marty’s starter was the lobster bisque (in the photo below) and was a meal highlight. I loved my branzino as well. It was all great, though, and highly-recommended.

Conveniently, the annual holiday market is next to the entrance to the restaurant, making it easy to pick up a few gifts and follow with a cocktail or a meal. Highly recommended!

Check out who tour our group bumped into this evening at Grand Central this evening! None other than Brandon Staton himself, the man behind the “Dear New York,” installation! Super nice guy. I love this city.

I had a tour at Grand Central yesterday and enjoyed seeing the Dear New York photo installation created by Brandon Stanton, the wizard behind the 15 year Humans of New York project.

This installation takes over all of the advertising screens, Vanderbilt Hall, which hosts photographs by local school students and professional photographers, and here in the main concourse, Brandon’s photos and subjects’ quotes projected on the walls.

Perhaps my favorite aspect is this grand piano played by Juilliard students throughout the day. Standing in what is already my favorite space in the city, underneath the painted ceiling constellations, and hearing Beethoven through the air was heavenly. On Wednesday, Lin-Manuel Miranda, whom Brandon photographed several years ago and at his request, played for a time.

Dear New York remains at Grand Central until this coming Sunday, 10/19.

Ragtime. So powerful and, while set in the 19-teens, so timely. This is a BIG show with big music, big roles, big performances.

Among the powerful performances, I single out Joshua Henry as Coalhouse Walker, Jr. whose mere presence on the stage is huge and that’s before he opens his mouth and sings. However, there is not a clunker in the cast. I’ll be silly and say I couldn’t stop looking at Brandon Uranowitz’ beautiful mane of thick, curly hair. But, seriously, as a Jewish person whose ancestors arrived at this country through Ellis Island, the Jewish characters’ arrival in the gorgeous opening number brought tears to my eyes.

Run to see this show if you can get a ticket for the limited run at Lincoln Center.
