The Pomerantz family tree is a timeline of pioneering New York City entrepreneurial efforts.

We are so excited to share the coverage of our one of our New York City food tours in Australia’s national Traveller (2.5 million readers!).

200 Fifth Avenue was formerly known as The Toy Building and is currently home to Eataly as well as the corporate offices of Tiffany & Co among others.

The Best New York Tours: Sometimes a guided tour is the way to go, even if you usually prefer to fly solo. It can be a great way to investigate out-of-the-way areas, to get an insider’s perspective on where locals eat and play in the city, and to learn about interesting aspects of the city’s history, inhabitants, or architecture. Whether you want the classic hop-on, hop-off bus tour to get oriented in the city or a more personal, interest-specific walk, you’ll find it here. Some of the bigger tour companies offer discounts if you book in advance online. Like A Local. Walk like a local, talk like a local, and best of all eat like a local with a highly curated tour from Like A Local. Tours include the Flatiron Food tour, which is a lovely walk from the Flatiron…

Lilo Travel Blog September 27, 2015: What does it mean to be a travel agent or travel company for the modern traveler? Well, first one needs to know what defines the modern traveler – sometimes it’s someone looking for the best way to go like a local, someone looking for thirtysomething travel ideas, or someone looking for modern ways to travel as a couple – most always, it’s someone looking for better ways of planning authentic travel experiences. However, to dig in deeper on what defines the modern traveler, we asked our friends at Like a Local Tours in Brooklyn for their take on what defines the modern traveler…. The modern traveler: I think the word that most defines today’s modern traveler is savvy. Savvy travelers are looking for a hyper local experience. Sure they might want to enjoy some of the traditional tourist sights in…

We were pleased to host writer Riaan George and he returned the love! “Let’s hop across to Breads Bakery for some coffee and babkas,” says an enthusiastic Lauren Beebe, New York’s walking tour specialist, as I lose myself to Manhattan’s magnificent buildings towering over me. I had signed up for one of Lauren’s insightful gourmet walking tours (www.likealocaltours.com), to discover the culinary underbelly of the Big Apple’s buzzing Flatiron District. The tour included hopping from a gourmet Italian market to a traditional American diner, while making a pitstop at a chic mozzarella bar. So the prospect of some good coffee was nothing short of tempting. “What is Breads Baker’y and what are babkas?” I asked with touristy innocence. As it turns out, Lauren was leading me to a coveted address which has become a favourite among locals. This address, as…
