Tour New York City With A Celebrity For Free! WTF? - Page 2
Some snippets from the Big Apple Greeters website:
Founded in 1992 with a mission to enhance New York City’s worldwide image and enrich the New York experience by connecting visitors with knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers. Big Apple Greeter’s core program is its free-of-charge Greeter program which connects visitors with New Yorkers of all ages, conversant in over 20 languages. Greeters, who are all volunteers, accompany visitors on 2-4 hour informal visits to New York City’s neighborhoods in all five boroughs.Big Apple Greeter is a non-profit organization that matches visitors with friendly and enthusiastic New Yorkers who are happy to share the city they love. A wonderful experience for families, friends and individuals traveling solo, Greeters help travelers feel welcome and get more from their stay in the Big Apple.
The New Yorkers who serve as Greeters are all volunteers, come from varied backgrounds and can welcome visitors in 22 languages. The office staff, also mostly volunteers, matches Greeters to visitors according to language, neighborhoods requested, and interests, when possible.
Who knows, maybe you will get the chance to be rub elbows with Donald Trump over some caviar in the city that never sleeps! Well I wouldn't consider that much of a treat, and I highly doubt The Donald (eeew) would volunteer his precious time, of course unless it involved making him money in some way. For me? I would rather hang with Dominic Chianese any day.
I think this is a GREAT program and I totally approve! And the FREE part aint' so bad either!
