There is no New York without its landmarks and history, and I have the perfect guest to open up the new season 5!

Tommy Silk, creator of @landmarksofny not only offers knowledgable posts and insights to an array of landmarks in the city, but he can also give you a tour of them as a certified tour guide in New York City. Sprinkle in his history degree from Fordham University and you have yourself an expert on landmarks. 

With a great deal of knowledge about the city and Tommy’s New York story, it can all be digested in just under an hour. Here’s a little of what we chat about on this episode…

✧ Making the move from Manhattan to Brooklyn - the pros and cons

✧ His #onlyinnewyork story of a big raccoon taking over Central Park

✧ How the preservation of landmarks in NYC got started

✧ The most overrated and underrated landmarks, landmarks for newbies in the city and also for natives to explore as well

✧ His favorite landmark and the amazing story behind it

✧ We even talk Staten Island and give it a landmark shout out

✧ Plus we play a fun pop quiz game on landmarks, which he was not expecting. How did he do?

I’m so excited to have had the opportunity to interview him.
