Ibrahima Diallo moved from Senegal to New York in 2003. Since then he’s made a career as an accredited New York City tour guide, leading groups around the city and pointing out the sights from open-top buses.
But, like everyone, Diallo has a personal map of the city too, of places that are special to him, and he gave The World’s Alex Gallafent a tour.
