Iren Gurarye

My name is Iren, and I want to welcome you to New York City.

I fell in love with New York the moment I set foot here, and I moved to the area the first chance I got.
It’s been over 20 years now. I enjoy showing people different faces of NYC.
From the bustling city of skyscrapers to the quiet streets of out-of-the-tourists-way neighborhoods.
I love telling stories of people who made New York what it is.
The self-made millionaires, famous writers, daring architects, and beautiful and powerful women.

I can show you major landmarks as well as secret spots and cozy old bars where you can feel NYC history come alive.
I can take you to places where sounds of jazz rule the night and people swing-dance – a dance born in Harlem, NY, and has swept the world with its infectious joy.

I’m a licensed sightseeing guide with over 15 years of experience.
I’ve studied History of Art at Harvard Extension School (Cambridge, Mass), New School (NYC), and NYC Architectural History at Cooper Union (NYC).

Hope to see you soon!
