GANYC Guides In The News

We at GANYC love to see when any of our member guides get a media spotlight, thus bringing a bigger eye to the great work our community does for New York. Here is a round-up of some recent media features:

• Tour guide, historian, and author Kevin C. Fitzpatrick was interviewed by BBC World Service about the 100th anniversary of World War I and its New York City connections. Fitzpatrick took the BBC reporter to a local memorial, and discussed Americans' feelings toward that war.
   
• The Guardian had an article last month about graffiti tours in NYC, and the growing legitimacy of street art. GANYC member guide Gabe Schoenberg is featured in the article, discussing his tour company and graffiti classes.
   
• A recent article in the NY Times Travel section discusses how to "feel at home on the road" and discusses a few tour companies catering to this, including Local Expeditions, which employs several GANYC guides.
   

Thanks to all who continue to work to get the word out in the press about the work that we do. If any of our guides or industry partners come across articles that mention or cover the NYC guiding community, please email them to us! We would also love to feature images of our guides in action on our Instagram page, so please feel free to email us those as well.
