Fall is in the air! Mid-September through Thanksgiving offers some of the finest walking tour weather here in NYC! Our website - www.bigonion.com was just updated. Please check out our "Guide Bio's" on the "Additional Information" page - short bios by and about most of our current guides.

We are currently offering public "show up" tours six days a week with two tours every Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Our tour calendar is up-to-date through March 1, 2009.

Its a litte blurry - but its the calm before the storm on Mulberry Street. The San Gennaro festival opens tomorrow - September 11 - and runs till September 21, 2008.

Once a festival to celebrate the immigrants from Naples, it has morphed into one of the largest street festivals in the nation.

I am also pleased that they chose to run the festival as it has for decades - starting the second Thursday of September. Despite the opening day falling on 9/11 the festival will start as always.
