Emily Kahn
About:
I'm Emily - a public historian/historic preservationist, adjunct professor, licensed tour guide, and cookie enthusiast living on the Upper West Side. I love my neighborhood for many reasons: historic character, friendly neighbors, adorable dogs, and unparalleled access to cookies. From the classic chocolate chip to NYC's famous black & white to new avant garde creations, the Upper West Side has it all when it comes to cookies! Join me for a walking tour combining local history with cookie tastings!
Looking for a more traditional history tour? Reach out to me for custom tours about Upper Manhattan, Jewish heritage, and more!
