Services are provided free of charge thanks to the support of our generous donors. Please consider becoming a donor at this time, so that we may continue sharing the city’s diverse neighborhoods and hidden treasures with visitors from around the world.
Big Apple Greeter's office is staffed by 6 paid staff and about 35 volunteers who work in every aspect of the program, from answering visitors’ questions and matching visitors with Greeters, to computer tech support and special events. What might look easy to do on the surface (you submit a request and a volunteer meets you at your accommodation) actually takes a large infrastructure to support. We receive over 10,000 requests a year, and it takes a lot of people to make sure the right volunteer speaking the right language is meeting the right visitors at the right time and location.

"Ballooning in the Hudson Valley of New York is about as close to the NYC area as you can get with a hot air balloon.

I don't know of any balloon ride operators in Nassau or Suffolk Counties of Long Island. I can tell you we've flown hundreds of Long Islanders and they've all told me it was well worth the trip!"
