What do you think about the Big Apple Greeter Program?

Would you like to see a similar program in your city?

From the lens The Big Apple Greeter Program of New York City.

Some of the greeter programs came about at a time when that particular city was in the spotlight. For example, The Australian greeter program was created around the time of the Sydney Olympics. There are opportunites for many other cities to start their own greeter programs. If this is a project that may interest you just contact The Global Greeter Network for more information.

    wow I did not know there was an Australian program.. i must look into that... perhaps you could add links to other city programs to make it easier for users... Great to promote this service... blessed by an angel

    I've never been to USA, much less New York, but if I ever managed to do so I would be thrilled to use this Greeter program. Blessed in an Angel's Last Tango (squidoo.com/angel-last-tango)

    Great lens. Thanks for visitng my Canon Powershot G10 lens. In answer to your question: I have a Nikon D80 (Nikon D80 which has now been replaced in the Nikon range by the D90 and is an excellent mid-range SLR, but my main camera is still a film camera: a Nikon F4s which I intend to replace with a D3 or D700 soon.

    Great idea -- makes perfect sense to me!

    My husband grew up in NYC and says the greeter program sounds like a fabulous idea.

    What a great idea! Awesome lens, too! 5 stars! Annie~

    That's a pretty cool idea, although I'm not a big fan of New York myself. And for the greeters, it's probably a good way to meet new people!

    A marvelous idea. If I am ever in New York, I will certainly use the Big Apple Greeter program. I feel it would help make my trip most memorable.

    Sounds very interesting. I've never taken any sort of guided tour in NYC, I've just relied on finding things myself. Squid Angel blessed!

    Did not know of such a thing. Nice lens.

    New York City seems so very big and I haven't traveled much in my life so the Big Apple Greeter program is something that would help me. Especially since it's free! I would definitely use this program.

    Very nice work!

    What an interesting programme, especially for such a large city. Thanks for sharing this. It is always good to learn something new.

    My main interest in the Big Apple is its pre-Revolutionary War history. If I ever visit there, that would be the focus of my exploration.
    Volunteer greeters is a WONDERFUL idea!! I would be scared to death to visit NYC on my own. Great lens!!

    I am living so close to New York, I love the town, the culture, the people and the opportunities. I worked for years commuting from NJ to NY.
    Thanks for this lens

    Great lens. I have been several times and always enjoy it. This program sounds like a wonderful thing and I think every city needs a greeter program. What is the right answer to where NYC got the name The Big Apple? Did I miss the answer?
  • stargazer00 Aug 3, 2009 @ 12:04 pm | delete
    New York would be very intimidating to a country girl like me. The Greeter Program sounds like a great deal.
