Fifth Avenue History Walk
The best that New York has to offer: amazing history, and dizzying landmarks
Join me for a walk along Fifth Ave - the name associated with wealth, glitz, and glamour. Fifth Ave is one of the best-known streets in the world, especially the stretch known as Millionaire Row. Once upon a time, it was lined with the finest homes of New York's wealthiest people - a place of ambition, intrigue, scandal, and the most spectacular balls ever given. This tour is not just about the landmarks, it's about the history of New York City and the people who shaped it into the metropolis. It's about millionaires and architects, visionaries and beautiful models, artists, and writers whose names are forever connected to Fifth Avenue.
We will see some of the better known landmarks such as St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, The Plaza Hotel, Tiffany & Co., Cartier Building as well as lesser known but fabulous Pulitzer Fountain, the St. Regis. . . and more.
After the stroll along Fifth Avenue, we will end up in a place where the sounds of jazz rule the night.
