Emmanuel has an intrinsic capability of being able to connect with people, no matter what part of the world they come from or what background they may have. That ability allows him to make thoughtful and authentic recommendations for cultural experiences in the world of food, drink, art and more. My first exposure to this came when I moved to NYC area from the Midwest more than 6 years ago. I moved to the area not knowing a soul and looking to explore NYC to the fullest. Emmanuel helped guide me to relevant experiences in the city that connected to my aspirations and values, which included learning about global food and drink experiences that were "off the beaten trail". Early on, Emmanuel guided me to exceptional hand made pasta in a no-frills setting in NOLITA, flights of bourbon and Japanese whiskeys in TRIBECA and authentic Middle Eastern cuisine from a renowned chef. That was just the tip of the iceberg, as he has since led me to discover many other hidden treasures in and around New York City.
A recommendation from Emmanuel can be seen as an endorsement and it often doubles as insider access to "the unseen" including chefs, kitchens, and mixologists around the city. Emmanuel is your go-to vanguard if you're looking to go above and beyond the normal tourist experience.
