About Tina M Kinney
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions about NYC neighborhoods, where and what to eat, how to get around on the subway, how to get to and from NYC, what to do, where to shop etc. I can not give recommendations on hotels, however, since I only stayed at a few myself. When I go to NYC, I stay with family!

Experience
I am a native New Yorker. I was born and grew up in Manhattan on the Upper West Side. I love showing NYC to newcomers and understand how the city works. I also understand that a city like NY can be very overwhelming to a newcomer. I am here to make your visit to Manhattan fun and exciting!

Education/Credentials
I have a BA from Binghamton University, NY and a Masters in Public Administration from SUNY Albany.
