Why should Spread Love be your guide to NYC?

It’s not just that Matt, our founder, is a native Brooklynite and hardcore New Yorker. It’s not just that he has been in the tourism industry for over twenty years, and knows New York. It’s not that he is a voracious reader, particularly of the food and drink milieu and can tell you where the best _______ is at that given moment. It also has nothing to do with the fact that he is an avid cyclist, searching high and low for the best street eats, the most interesting panoramic views, and the tastiest cocktails.

It’s all of this and more. It’s because Matt loves this city, his city, and he loves when, through his profession and his passion, he watches other people fall in love with it too.

Whether that happens coming out of a Broadway musical, slipping down a crooked side street in Chinatown, or biting into a perfectly grilled hot dog with mustard and kraut (no dirty water dogs please, life is too short for that street-meat-in-a-bun,) Matt lives this life and loves it and loves it even more when he gets to share it with visitors from all over the world.
