After a long--much too long---pandemic-induced delay, Jim Mackin once again leads tours for both tourists and city residents on one-of-a-kind, always interesting, walks around the historic Bloomingdale neighborhood. The walks are monthly and vary from month to month. And they're free!  No reservation needed!

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 . 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 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. For Jim's Wednesday tours, visit  https://www.weekdaywalks.com.
