I've said this before and I know I'll say it again...Time to get the blog working again!    In the meantime, please visit us on Facebook - Big Onion Walking Tours.

Spring is in the air! Big Onion is now offering public "show up" tours five days a week with two tours every Saturday & Sunday. Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park & Green-Wood Cemetery tours will start up again real soon!

Winter in the city...sure it's a little cold...but sidewalks are less crowded, the winter air is crisp and clean. Still a great time of year for a walking tour!

It's been a long time between blog entries - sorry everyone! But its all because of good Big Onion news! I've become a contributor/historian for the WPIX 11 show - Toni on New York! We have four episodes all put together - next one airing on Saturday eve April 11 @ 7:30 p.m. (and again on Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m.) is Fort Greene Brooklyn. April 18 features The East Village....after that....you have to check back to find out!

WEBSITE BACK UP & RUNNING - Monday, January 19, 2009 - 2:00 p.m.

Fall Foliage in Prospect Park



Mid to late October is an amazing time to get out and enjoy nature in New York City. The foliage has just started turning vibrant and it will hopefully last a few weeks. This was taken just the other day from the Long Meadow in Prospect Park looking west towards Prospect Park West.

It has been perfect fall weather for the past week. Crisp and cold nights, sunny days. Amazingly clean air...winter is definitely around the corner.

RUBY GETS FAMOUS!

When most people think of Big Onion they think of our guides. Our fantastic walking tour guides are the "face" of the company. It is the guides that people meet and interact with face-to-face. The other side of Big Onion is the little tiny office. Usually that is me - Seth Kamil - sitting at the computer and on the telephone. I do lead tours when I can - but that's always a Catch-22 as I have to close the office to lead one! The office side of Big Onion can be pretty lonely. I bring our two company "mascots" with me every day - Sophie the 12 year old Black Lab (she is the one who sometimes barks when I'm on the phone) and Ruby the two year old (she is silent). Well, in this week's issue of The Brooklyn Paper there is a short story about dogs in Prospect Park. Ruby made the paper - I guess this is 30 seconds of her proverbial 15 minutes of "fame".
