I'm Bradley Shaw, founder of NY History Tours, a licensed New York City tour guide, historian and educator.

I created NY History Tours to share the history of New York City through its neighborhoods, buildings, institutions and  most importantly, its people.

​

I was born on New York City's Lower East Side and have spent years researching, teaching and guiding tours of NY, specializing in its Jewish communities. 

​

I hold a BA in History and Education from Brooklyn College. I have served as a docent, walking-tour guide and manager at the Museum at Eldridge Street, one of New York's most important institutions devoted to Jewish history.
