Meet Your Guide: Derek

Hello, my name is Derek! I’m a Brooklyn-raised, licensed Tour Guide with 17 years of experience in New York City’s leading tourism industry. After nearly two decades curating world-class experiences at the city's most iconic landmarks, I’ve turned my professional focus toward a lifelong passion: the intersection of New York history, music, and cannabis culture.
For years, cannabis has been a passion and tool for staying grounded in the fast-pace of New York City. I’ve taken my years of experience navigating the underground scene and combined it with my professional background in history and high-end hospitality.
​
We're creating a welcoming environment for locals and travelers alike to navigate this landscape with confidence. Our tour covers the full spectrum of cannabis history, spotlighting local brands, top-tier dispensaries, and those hidden cannabis-friendly gems that make New York City magical.
This isn't just about consumption—it's about education and elevation.
Our mission is to provide safe, informed, and authentic experiences that celebrate the plant's legacy while embracing its legal future.
