Christa Avampato is a writer, storyteller, and tour guide whose work explores hope, healing, creativity, nature, food, and New York City history. Through essays, newsletters, podcasts, books, and walking tours, she connects overlooked stories from the past with the people and environmental challenges shaping urban life today. Her NYC’s Secrets & Lies tours invite participants to discover the city’s hidden histories, including changing shorelines, historic markets, coastal ecology, and contemporary approaches to resilience.

Her writing also examines civic issues and practical ideas, from public restrooms and urban design to sustainability and community wellbeing, often drawing on observations from travel and everyday experiences. Avampato’s broader creative projects include the Emerson Page novel series, nonfiction, the Togetherhood initiative, a nature newsletter, and the JoyProject podcast. Across these formats, she aims to spark curiosity and share stories that encourage readers and audiences to see familiar places in new ways.
