NEW YORK – Tourists like to spot celebrities in New York City. Now they can hang out with them.
A volunteer tour organization called Big Apple Greeters is offering free personalized tours led by celebrities. Former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber and "Sopranos" star Dominic Chianese (kee-uh-NAY'-see) were at City Hall on Wednesday to advertise their services.
Barber says he recently showed a Colorado couple around town and had lunch with them at one of his favorite spots.
Chianese says he loves New York and wants to show visitors a good time.
Organizers say celebrity hosts can't be requested and will be randomly assigned. The tours are free.
