Night (founder)
My name is Night, and I was born and raised in Istanbul. I moved to New York City in 2007 and have been leading Central Park and city tours ever since. I know NYC like the back of my hand, from movie locations and great food spots to vibrant nightlife and the best shopping areas.
Photography is a passion of mine, and as a semi-professional photographer, I love capturing the city’s essence through my lens. I also have a deep love for history and hold degrees in International Relations and Political Science. I find beauty in the chaos of NYC, which offers a variety of experiences that ensure there's always something new to explore.
Traveling and meeting new people and cultures continually enriches my understanding and appreciation of the world. The ever-changing landscape of New York provides endless opportunities to discover new places, try new dishes, and meet fascinating people, making every day an adventure.
Chris
Chris is the quintessential New Yorker, born and raised in the heart of Manhattan. Growing up just a stone's throw from Central Park and attending school on Central Park West, he developed a deep connection to the city and a love for the outdoors. The vibrant streets of New York have always been his home and inspiration.
Chris has always had a love for music. By age 12, he had taught himself to play guitar and piano, which eventually led him to study at The Hartt School of Music. After college, he became a fixture in Manhattan’s legendary club scene, DJ-ing at iconic venues like The Limelight, Roxy, and Webster Hall. Later, he transitioned to composing music and co-owned a music production company.
Today, Chris continues to compose and produce music, but he considers his role as a pedicab tour guide in Central Park one of the best jobs he’s ever had. He loves being outdoors, meeting people from around the world, and sharing New York City’s history alongside his personal experiences.
Moussa (Strong)
Moussa, affectionately known as "Strong Mind," was born in Dakar, Senegal. Fluent in English, French, and Wolof, his journey from West Africa to New York City is marked by resilience and passion. After earning a Master's in Mathematics and Physical Chemistry from the University of Dakar, he was selected by the Senegalese government in 2001 to study Aerospace Engineering in California.
Moussa's journey took him across the globe as he pursued his passion for Tae Kwon Do, earning a 4th-degree black belt and representing Senegal in three World Championships held in Seoul, Kenya, and Egypt. In 2004, he settled in Manhattan, drawn by the city's vibrant energy and cultural diversity. Embracing his new home, he became a licensed tour guide, eager to share his love for New York City and its iconic Central Park with visitors from around the world.
When not guiding tours, Moussa enjoys reading, cheering for his favorite football team, Marseilles, and listening to country music. Every evening, he takes a reflective walk through Central Park, a place that has become an integral part of his daily routine.
