Hi Jared,
Thank you so much for taking us on the walking tour this week. The students [11 to 13 years old] enjoyed the walking tour immensely - you were able to connect with them and have them really listen and stay focused. We appreciate that as we know from experience that not all
tour guides are able to do so!
We hope to see you again in a few years,

Hi Jared,
Thanks for all of your help this past weekend. The group seemed very happy on Friday's walking tour, and your help on Parade day was very important to the success of the program.
Look forward to seeing you again!
From the owner of a company that services marching bands.

6 weeks until King's Day, Holland's national holiday.
April 26th and thereabouts is a great time for a Dutch Nieuw Amsterdam Walking Tour of the
Downtown colonial district.
Here are just two of my favorite, surprising facts about New York City's dynamic Dutch heritage:
Did you know that the most popular language of Nieuw Amsterdam was French? You'd think it would be Dutch!
Did you know that 1/3 of Nieuw Amsterdam's residents had some economic connection with alcohol?

Gallagher's NYC steak house since 1927 is reopening Monday, February 10th.
Last night we got a "Friends and Family" preview.
This was especially meaningful because I had been eating at Gallagher's since the 1970s or 1980s with my family.
Everything good about it is back or better than before it was sold and closed for renovations and a revamp.
The pictures, meat locker, grill, and staff and steak is still there. The horseshoe bar still serves great drinks. The classic pictures are back. We dined beneath an inscribed James Cagney photograph.
The steak is even slightly better than before, which keeps Gallagher's rank as one of New York City's great steak houses. We enjoyed the king of steak, a porterhouse.
This is new: they serve a good fish selection, this now being a Dean Poll restaurant like his Boat House in Central Park. The crab cakes are a treat.
Striking is the improved atmosphere. Fewer tables, more staff, better service, better lighting and acoustics.
Gallagher's had increasingly become touristy and what I call a "Birthday Song" restaurant in which you can hear the song sung at a big table every five minutes. The staff used be great but it was spread thin.
You might recognize the return of several of the waitstaff who have a great deal of pride to be back and better than before.
