A native born New Yorker, Tim has enjoyed discovering and exploring Westchester and the Hudson Valley area since moving to the fabulous suburbs from his home neighborhood in East Harlem Manhattan, NY in 2007. A true adventurer and traveler at heart, Tim makes a point of finding at least one new thing to see, sip, savor and do, every week. From the hip main stretch of White Plains, to the quaint small town, appeal of Mamaroneck, Rye and Port Chester NY, to the extravagant, lovely vistas and estates of Tuxedo and Katonah; Westchester and the surrounding areas truly do have something wonderfully new to discover for every traveler, and Tim is happy to share his insights to help make our Discoverers experiences unique and memorable!
