SoHo has been described as an "international marketplace for style and design".  Dominated by beautiful cast iron buildings with sun-drenched lofts, this neighborhood continues to be the center for cutting edge art and design.

On weekends, the streets are filled with locals and visitors alike, shopping the exclusive boutiques, antique galleries and high fashion clothing stores and, of course, visiting the numerous art galleries in the vicinity.   Stop off for a drink or a meal and sample the truly amazing selection of restaurants, bistros and outdoor cafes.

This tour has been featured in the New York Times; WOR's Joan Hamburg has interviewed Sheila and many travel books list Doorway to Design.

West Chelsea is following on the heels of SoHo as the epicenter of New York's art world.  Come visit this newest art frontier, home to hundreds of galleries.  Explore this diverse district with your knowledgeable guide,  who is a Professor of Arts Administration at NYU.

On West 26th Street at the Starrett Lehigh building, we will see firsthand why the hottest multimedia companies, including Martha Stewart, are moving into this building, with its spectacular 360 degree wraparound views of the city.

A highlight of the tour is our visit to the Studio/Museum of a famous sculptor's former home.  He was one of the most significant sculptors of the 20th Century, was influential in reviving the great tradition of direct wood carving.   With the expert knowledge of the curator, you will see where the artist lived and worked.
