Walking Tour of the Upper East Side

October 9, 2024
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
America/New_York
Off-campus

Explore one of the city's most luxurious neighborhoods as we delve into the personalities, scandals, and institutions that have made it so legendary. While emphasizing history's Gilded Age, our tour will discuss the evolution of the area from the late 18th century farmland through the early 19th century development and ultimately its “discovery” by the New York elites.

Stops could include: the Park Avenue Armory, the Frick Mansion, and sites associated with Richard Morris Hunt, Alexander Calder, Stanford White, as well as the Morgan, Tiffany, Vanderbilt and Houdini families.
