About 10 years ago I launched Eye Prefer New York Tours with a friend of mine who was going to partner with me to do the same types of tours in New York that I do in Paris. Things did not workout with my friend and I couldn’t find someone else who had the passion and commitment to run the tours. I eventually dissolved the tours and took down the website but in the back of my mind I thought it would have been a great opportunity for the right person.
Fast forward to August of this year, when a friend of mine introduced me to Joseph Cohen, who was launching a New York City tour company doing private tours. Joseph is a native New Yorker like me, and we hit it off immediately. He seemed to have all the essential qualities to be a great tour guide- warm, passionate, friendly, fun, outgoing and most of all he has a true love of New York and the desire to share his great city with others.
To give you a little bit of background about Joseph, he’s an award-winning copywriter and has written five books.
Joseph’s company Extraordinary New York Tours was launched in late August and his debut tours include Greenwich Village, the Lower East Side, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge’s Early Morning Magic, and Gilded-Age Mansions and High-Class Gossip (I for sure will do this one next time I go to New York).
The tours are three-hours and the basic tours are priced @ $275 for up to three people.
Much like Eye Prefer Paris Tours, Joseph will show you a New York City you probably haven’t seen before.
I wish Joseph the best of luck and if you plan to go to New York City, please book one of his tours.
Checkout his quirky mascot on his website- a New York City pigeon wearing a yellow diamond necklace. Only in New York would this be possible!

In my latest A Bite of Paris video, I've taken a break from food tasting to visit my friend Jessica at La Vaissellerie, my favorite tabletop, dish ware, and kitchen shop, located in the Marais.
