Walking Tour Along Riverside Drive, from 86th-107th Streets

May 7, 2025
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
America/New_York
Riverside Park, New York, NY 10025 at 86th Street (southwest corner)

Join Stephanie Azzarone, author of the award-winning book, Heaven on the Hudson: Mansions, Monuments, and Marvels of Riverside Park, and a licensed New York City tour guide, for a tour along Riverside Drive.

Behind Riverside Drive’s serene facades lie secrets, from hidden architectural details to headline-making scandals. You’ll learn about “the sad fate of America’s first supermodel, see the mansion where William Randolph Hearst ensconced his paramour, Marion Davies, visit the Drive's tallest apartment building, its only privately owned freestanding villa (whose owner stiffed his architect), and the site of a one-story prefab designed by a famous architect. Multiple affairs, a scandalous divorce, and a murder (or two) color this tour’s tales.”
