About

Explore the heart of Midtown Manhattan on this captivating walk through New York's skyscraper-packed business district that developed atop the “suburbs” of the Gilded Age city. You’ll learn about a part of town that contains nothing short of the history of American culture: radio, television, books, music, magazines, newspapers, and theaters. We’ll trace the architectural evolution of buildings that mirrored the time and place they were built, from 19th Century brownstone homes to the Art Deco, Modern to Post-Modern marvels that were shaped by zoning laws passed in 1916 and 1961. As we traverse public and private domains, we'll delve into the wide variety of art in various media along the way on a tour designed to pass through Midtown’s most serene passageways, and the iconic heart of Manhattan's business district.
