It was the middle of a global pandemic and our two-decade-old tour guide business had gone bankrupt. Tourism had ground to a halt. Millions of people in the travel and hospitality industry were unemployed. But worse than that was the knowledge that the economic gulf between the haves & have nots was widening. More and more people were living with less and less, especially here in NYC.
When we woke up, we knew it was our responsibility as New Yorkers to give back to our city, while at the same time showing our guests how to be a part of this magnificent metropolis. That's when our new company’s name rang clear as a bell - Spread Love NYC.
Because we're all New Yorkers. Where do you belong?
