How To Be A New Yorker News & Features

You too can experience the privilege, respect and air of superiority enjoyed by millions who call themselves New Yorkers. But it requires training, even if you were born here. Let us show you how to develop the instincts for disdainful glances, peevish muttering and innate rudeness that distinguish true New Yorkers. How To Be A New Yorker shows audiences everything they ever needed to know about what it takes to be a real New Yorker, or at least not stand out as a tourist. Actors/comedians and licensed NYC tour guides take you on a whirlwind comedic romp filled with stories from the world’s largest landfill in Staten Island to the home of the Bronx Bombers.

*Please note: A full meal catered by Sofia's Ristorante Italiano is included.

What Is the Story of How to Be a New Yorker?
Take a wild subway ride with Margaret Copeland and Kevin James Doyle, two comics who also happen to be licensed New York City tour guides. Copeland, a native New Yorker, tells stories about her Manhattan upbringing, while Doyle, a transplant from Ohio, shares city stories from a newcomer’s point of view. Through a series of comedy sketches, monologues and video interviews, the duo teaches tourists and natives alike how to survive in the big city.
