The Little Island is the perfect summer spot! In a recent greet, Elise, a visitor from France, got the chance to explore the Little Island and came across chiming tiles- adding music to an already great summer day!

Hear from Bob Geller about his experience giving Big Apple Greeter’s first in person greet after the reopening:

“It was very exciting to be able to finally, after more than a year, "greet" visitors to NYC.

Christina and Lillia were, as expected, also excited, not only to visit a city they love, but having their request for a "greet" accepted. They had planned this visit only 3 weeks in advance. They were ready to come back to New York City.

They were so appreciative to meet me and spend the afternoon with a New Yorker!”
