Join us for a unique exploration of one block—22nd Street between 9th & 10th Avenues. Inspired by Alexandra Horowitz’s book, On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes, we’ll slow down and awaken our senses to details we often overlook.
We’ll observe the interplay of architecture and nature, uncover hidden patterns, and marvel at the rich textures and contrasts that make urban life so endlessly fascinating. From the artistry of building facades, to the quiet life of the trees, to the whispers of history etched into brickwork—every inch of this block holds stories waiting to be discovered.
No prior knowledge is required; just bring your curiosity and an openness to seeing the world anew. By the end of the walk, you may find yourself noticing more wherever you go, with a deeper appreciation for the extraordinary in the everyday.
This event is sold out and the waitlist is full.
Accessibility
You'll be standing for 90 minutes, as we slowly walk from 10th Ave to 9th Ave and then back. We'll walk on flat sidewalks. No stairs. Subways and buses run to Chelsea, but please check the transit schedules for planned service changes, which happen on many weekends. Also kindly allow time for walking several long avenue blocks if taking the subway. E train stops at 6th Ave, not 8th Ave this weekend, and uptown C skips 8th Ave & 23rd St--take downtown C or A local instead.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
