The Art & Architecture of Park Avenue from Lever to Grand Central

Janes Walk

Led By Abby Suckle, President, cultureNOW AND Anne Lewison

Everyday over 700,000 New Yorkers pass through Midtown along Park Avenue to and from Grand Central Terminal. This is a part of the City where in a few blocks you can see many of the forces that have shaped our city. There are icons of architecture (Midtown Modernism) and capitalism such as Lever, Seagram, and the Chrysler building. There are icons of real estate such as the Grand Hyatt and Helmsley. Under construction is one of the city’s tallest office buildings Chase. There are great clubs and great churches. This walk will showcase some of the art and architecture along Park Avenue and tell some of the stories about its past, its present, and perhaps future.

The tour is available as a guided tour, as well as a virtual tour.

This walk is sold out and the waitlist is full.
