History Hiding in Plain Sight on the Upper West Side

Janes Walk

SOLD OUT, WAITLIST FULL

Led By Rob Garber, Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group

Enjoy a guided walk through time as we discover remnants of the Upper West Side’s storied history that have survived relentless rounds of development and are still there to see—if you know where to look. Wear comfortable walking shoes because we’re going to cover 450 million years in 40 blocks! Your time-traveling host will be Rob Garber, who writes the Historical Photo Challenge column for the West Side Rag.
