Join us for a unique exploration of one block—81st Street between Columbus & Amsterdam. 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.
Accessibility
You'll be standing for 60 minutes, as we slowly walk from Columbus Ave to Amsterdam Ave and then back. We'll walk on flat sidewalks. No stairs.
