Coffee Enthusiasts!
Not only am I a coffee enthusiast here in NYC, I have visited EVERY cafe worth visiting in every borough of NYC & BK. Not only that, I have worked with and trained some of the best baristas at the very best cafes all around the city! Yep, you’re not only gaining a companion and guide on this one. I can get you FREE TOURS of some of the best roasteries, FREE coffee tasting events, FREE latte art events. That is how deeply embedded in the local coffee scene I became over my years living here. I’ve even been recruited to work internationally as an artisanal coffee specialist. I have trained and managed teams of some of the most talented baristas at some of the very best cafes and coffee companies all around the city. I also have a wealth of knowledge about every aspect of the business: where beans are sourced, where the farms are located, how the beans are processed, how coffee beans are roasted, and I can even offer expert coffee training lessons for every single brew method that exists. Not only that, I GUARANTEE I will be able to help you master (or expand your abilities) in ONE DAY by teaching you how to pour the very best LATTE ART you’ve ever seen!! I offer pour over technique and training, proper espresso machine use and more! The places and people I can gain access to will ENSURE you experience the REAL NYC coffee scene. You will not find it by searching hashtags on socials or googling. -

Let me be your guide, your friend, your sidekick and I will safely and efficiently guide you to all the places you want to see & some of the best hidden secrets you didn’t even know about!
Write about your own experiences guiding as a Local Friend. You can write these on your own voice, relating the unique experiences you were able to give who was traveling with you. Example: "Last week, I guided a traveler from Spain who wanted to experience the city beyond the main attractions. We started with a quiet morning at a small coffee shop only locals know, then wandered through a street art alley where I could share the stories behind each mural. They told me it was their favorite part of the trip because it felt like discovering a secret side of the city, one they would have never found alone."
