I first met Jon in 2018 during a walking tour of the Lower Eastside. I was forced to go by a friend that really wanted to check it out. It turned out to really great time.. Jon was knowledgeable and very personable. In 2019, my family planned a trip to NYC and at the very last minute, I was called out of town on business. I wracked my brain thinking of who could show my family the sites and sounds of NYC. Fortunately, I remembered Jon. He was willing to fill in as a tour guide for my family. He took them from Yankee Stadium to Battery Park. They also shopped at Macy’s (an extra that wasn’t included in our initial agreement). They loved him so much they treated him to lunch and gave him a generous tip. Luckily for me, they were so exhausted, they stayed in their hotel the next day.
