Play with miniature goats
In an hour-long experience, visitors will meet and play with this year's babies. These babies are bonded to humans and will climb all over you. Near the end of the hour, visitors are welcome to visit the rest of the goats and I'll be happy to answer any questions they might have about goat life. And Great Dane puppy, Spock, will be there, too! WHAT TO EXPECT BY SEASON: Spring: Babies are brand new, still on the bottle. Summer: Older babies are weaned and getting a little rowdy. Fall: The babies are tweens now, getting bigger but still snugglers. (Don't see a date that works for you? Drop me a message and let's see if we can't make another day work.) Other things to note: You will get dirty and covered in animal hair! There will be poop! Babies can get a bit crazy so be prepared for some adorable chaos. This experience is rain or shine.

Explore the Real Brooklyn
Experience the real Brooklyn with me! Many people want to visit Brooklyn but just don't know where to start. I am here to change that: I will show you five completely different sides of Brooklyn in five different neighborhoods. You will get an overview of New York City's most populous borough, and I will introduce you to Brooklyn's history, culture and people. Covering five different neighborhoods, this is the most comprehensive Brooklyn tour available. You'll get to see how diverse Brooklyn truly is when I show you classic Brooklyn brownstone architecture as well as the 'hipster' side of Brooklyn, street art and vintage shops, hidden bars, amazing Manhattan views, an Orthodox Jewish community and grand historic homes. To be able to show you as much of this giant borough as possible, we are using the subway three times on the tour, but this will give you time to sit down and take a break in between exploring the various neighborhoods on foot. See "Where we'll be" for the neighborhoods we're visiting on the tour. Other things to note -If you book a private tour, I am able to accommodate specific requests for neighborhoods / sights to include. -Bring a valid MTA subway ticket (ideally a weekly card with unlimited rides) and wear comfortable shoes.

Horseback riding in the Catskill Mountains
Take a guided horseback riding tour on our 300+ acres of private mountain trails lead by an experienced guide. After signing up and meeting the horses, we will show you the skills you need to ride through our trails. You will be accompanied by an experienced trail guide the entire time. This is a beginner friendly ride. The ride itself is 1 hour long and is done in a western saddle.
Harlem history with a community leader
Our experience bridges important time periods together. We begin at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the premier center of its kind in the world. We'll explore how Africans, forced to leave their homeland, came to both the Caribbean and the Americas through slavery. You will understand how they impacted food, music, popular culture and dance with exhibits, film or sound. Their struggle made Harlem a center for social movements from the mid 1880s to the present. We touch on the Trans Atlantic Slave trade, its impact on human relations between American-born citizens and immigrants at that time. We'll delve into the New Negro Movement, which sparked the modern civil rights movement in this country and explore depression-era exhibitions such as the recently restored WPA murals in Harlem Hospital. Together, we’ll discover how we can learn how to heal from the past to move towards a better future. If you know that you will be in town for several days, book early so I can assist with an itinerary that can include a lindyhop or tap dance class and /or food tasting. Other things to note Feel free to bring your own camera to take pictures and dress appropriately for the weather.
The Soul of Harlem Walking Tour
As a New Yorker, I’ve lived in all 5 Boroughs of NYC. However, my birthplace was Harlem. Thus, I will show you the place that is dear to my heart – the village of Harlem. This unique soulful walking experience will take place in one of four sections of Harlem - Central Harlem. This section was the Heart and Soul of the Harlem Renaissance and the Civil Rights movement in America. Our journey will begin with a birds-eye view of 125th Street looking westward – this will give us a photographic preview of some of the locations we will visit. We will then walk to the former homes of the Harlem Renaissance central figures, Langston Hughes, Madam C.J. Walker, James w. Johnson, etc. On this 10,000-step journey, we will pass several Harlem murals that capsulize Harlem’s glorious past. We will also see where Marin Luther King spoke, suffered a near-death experience, and was hospitalized. Two places of special interest will be explored – the Harlem Jazz Museum (Thurs-Sat only) & the Schomburg Library for African Studies (Mon-Sat). At the Schomburg, we will see a mosaic cosmogram containing the ashes of Langston Hughes underneath it. To round out our experience, we will walk upon Harlem’s “Walk of Fame;” and see monuments of Civil Rights trailblazers and the famous Sylvia’s Restaurant, named after the “Queen of Soul Food” Sylvia Woods. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your guests.
Curator's Tour of Downtown Galleries
I offer a small-scale, customized walking tour of Lower East Side galleries with an experienced contemporary art curator (me) providing background & context to the artists, galleries & neighborhood. The 45-block area of narrow, intersecting streets currently represents the cutting edge of the NYC art world, often with artists having their first-ever gallery exhibitions. I've lived in this neighborhood for 42 years & walked its gnarly streets thousands of times. In fact, one reason I started giving this tour was because out-of-town friends & colleagues kept getting lost trying to find things on their own. We meet at a well-known art gallery on historic Orchard Street. After a quick intro, we'll follow a mapped tour for 3 hours, visiting as many art galleries as we're collectively comfortable with (LES has more than 100), usually 10-15. I focus on galleries whose current program I find interesting: D. Eller, Perrotin, M. Abreu, J. Fuentes, bitforms, Magenta Plains, B. Cuningham, R. Uffner, Salon 94, Situations, T. de Nagy, C. Tierney, Downs & Ross, N. Karg, Participant Inc, Fridman, S. Subal, Fierman, Shrine, A. Edlin, Sargent's Daughters, Ashes/Ashes, Bodega, Housing, Lubov, Lyles & King, Shelter, Ulterior, 47 Canal, Bureau and Situations. You get to keep the map as a souvenir. This is a great opportunity for a small group to experience and talk about new art.
Boozy Rooftop Yoga Class Overlooking Manhattan Skyline
What fills your cup? I provide the wine, you provide the intention. Flow through Yoga asanas while watching the sun set on a rooftop overlooking the spectacular New York City skyline. We will practice a relaxed, mindful and creative yoga flow and get in touch with the ebbs and flows of life, while watching the sun go down over the entire Manhattan skyline. A truly breathtaking experience! Please bring: a mat (we do have a few available for rent- let us know if you need one!) Some water A good attitude For privacy reasons, the exact address will be sent to you after your booking is confirmed. Located 20 minutes from Times Square. For an extra cost, private groups also have the opportunity to have me prepare a cheese plate for them post class and hang out for as long as they please.
Speakeasy and secret bar tour
Established in 2014, me and my team have proudly been the first to operate Speakeasy experiences in NYC. We will take you to 3 completely concealed and hidden establishments. All 3 locations are completely hidden, no obvious bars in between. Some through vault doors with a required code and some that are down an alleys with multiple doors where you would need to know which door to open. Some even have all the drinks still in tea cups in case the police would raid them back in 1920's and was featured in the TV show Boardwalk Empire for its historical accurate decor and atmosphere. We provide historical facts by history teachers with educational and tour guide licenses. Our facts are solely from cross referenced academic sources. We furthermore work in conjunction NYC City Hall and the NYC Hall of Records to ensure the authenticity of the historical claims by each establishment we visit. This experience is available in French, Italian, German, Spanish and English. Please make sure to submit a request in a message if you want the experience in a different language. PLEASE do NOT book this is you are landing to the airport the same day after 11 am. If the experience is fully booked, we also have a website alexstours d0t c0m that offers the same experience and also offer the East Village Speakeasy experience on Airbnb as well.
