Our Guide: Gary Denis
A native New Yorker, the product of an insanely competitive family of "know-it-alls". My parents, younger brothers, and I all love New York City history, and to get some parental attention, I had to be historically correct and entertaining at the same time. I also love old movies, read up on Hollywood and Broadway history, studied old theaters and their architects, and ultimately threw all that into the plea for attention. I love this city and all its peculiarities, and I love sharing it with newcomers, returning visitors, or native New Yorkers—anyone who wants to know why Wall Street is called Wall Street, where is the "square" in Times Square, or where are the batteries in Battery Park. I'll tell you these and other fascinating things you never knew about this amazing place I call home because "there are 8 million stories in the naked city", and I will share with you as many as possible.
