Jeff has a B.A., cum laude, in American Studies from Cornell; a J.D. from Vanderbilt; and he's a former Assistant General Counsel at Con Edison, New York City's power utility.

His guided tours via subway and foot through New York's varied and unique neighborhoods, will introduce you to the City’s history, and to the sights, foods, and photo opportunities that only come with a local's experience and knowledge. And as you walk the City and chat, you will gain a more intimate appreciation of New York, and return home with a deeper understanding of how the City grew from a small Dutch trading post to become the financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world.
