Dear Jewelry Friends,
Come take a walk back in time through The Gilded Age of New York City with esteemed NYC tour guide and historian, Keith Taillon. A glittering walking tour with Keith will highlight 5th Avenue stories of mansions, balls, jewels, and the fabulous families that ruled the city way back when. Starting at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and ending at Bethesda Fountain, this walking tour will last approximately 1.5—2 hours, and cover 2.5 miles. There will also be an option for drinks with Keith at Bemelman’s after the tour.
Keith (@keithyorkcity on Instagram) has been giving tours all over Manhattan for a few years, having developed his passion for history and the city into a tour service over the course of the pandemic, after he set out to walk and document the history of every single street in Manhattan in 2020. His knowledge, humor, and ability to weave a fascinating story of New York keep his audiences coming back for more.
Space is limited to ensure an intimate event, so please RSVP below, and bring your walking shoes and a water bottle! Tours are rain or shine, and begins at 11am on the steps of St. Patrick’s cathedral.
