I was intimidated by going to private galleries in the past. David opened the doors and showed us how it works. Gallery hopping will now be a regular activity when we are in New york. The tour was not only informative, but also great fun. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys going to museums, but has not previously... More

I fully appreciated this knowlegeable tour that was presented to me. It was very informative and extremely interesting to surround myself with the quality experience New York has to offer. This guide is the diamond in the rough with a 0 grade cut, pure clarity, and perfect mix for me as I really take pride in the live performance this... More

From the beginning Dave was welcoming and hospitable. Not only was he knowledgeable about the art, but also about the architecture in the area. I loved the movement from one gallery to the next and I really felt like we got to see the hidden gems in the Chelsea galleries. At the end he asked us great questions the really... More

I know very little about the contemporary art world and I'm always leery of just stopping by the galleries in chelsea. David's tour is so fun and interesting because he's vetted all the galleries long before you get there. He goes through and genuinely pics the two percent of the best work available to see and the result is a... More

As a New Yorker, I've already gone to a few galleries in Chelsea, but never on a regular basis. Dave sees every show, so instead of you having to circumnavigate the galleries and having most of it be "hit and miss" and frankly mostly "miss", you get to spend your time seeing amazing art,learning cool historical facts about how the...

This is the tour if you really want to see and understand the Chelsea galleries and the art you're looking at. There was an immense amount of thought that was put into our tour itinerary to tailor it to our appetites. Rather than shepherd us around to the behemoth galleries, we were taken to several "secret" galleries - no signs,... More

My girlfriend and I went on a gallery tour with The Two Percent in mid October, and we weren't really sure what to expect. David opened our eyes to the Chelsea galleries. His in depth knowledge of not only the art presented, but the area provided us with a morning that we would never forget! We visited five separate galleries,... More

Whether you're looking for something to do, you love art, or are just a generally curious person (that's me), the 2% gallery tour is a must-do. I took the tour with my boyfriend through Chelsea -- and Dave (he's the guy who started the website - http://www.thetwopercent.com) is seriously genius. Any question we had, Dave had an answer -- that... More

I've lived in the city for a number of years and visited Chelsea galleries in the past. Something about this tour really stuck me though. The think it was that the context was just right. The art showcased on the tour was mind-blowingly good and the guide made it easily accessible. He knew some of the gallery owners and they... More
