Return of Free Walking Tours of Historic Bloomingdale
Explore the History of the Upper West Side
between W. 96th and W. 110th Streets
Led by Renowned Local Historian Jim Mackin
Tuesday July 27, 2021 at 600pm
Meet at Straus Park, Broadway and 106th Street
Jim Mackin’s terrific tours of the Upper West Side are beginning again after a long--much too long---pandemic-induced delay. Jim will once again lead a mixed group of both tourists and city residents on a one-of-a-kind, always interesting, walk around the historic Bloomingdale neighborhood. The walks are monthly and vary from month to month. And it’s free!
Jim is no ordinary tour guide--he is a New York City historian and author of the recently released book, Notable New Yorkers of Manhattan’s Upper West Side https://www.fordhampress.com/9780823289301/notable-new-yorkers-of-manhattans-upper-west-side/. Michael Miscione, former Manhattan Borough Historian describes Jim’s book as “an exhaustive and ofttimes surprising ‘Who’s Who’ of Upper West Siders who have shaped the worlds of art, culture, politics and science.”
Trust Jim to know where all the notables lived and to share some fascinating, often little- known stories about them. Once you’ve completed this tour, you’ll understand what makes this rarified slice of Manhattan so renowned and so vital.
Jim is the founder of Weekday Walks, which offers tours every Wednesday morning, covering a different part of the city each time. Coming up in June are walks around Marcus Garvey Park and City Hall Park. https://www.weekdaywalks.com/
