The Magnificent Grand Concourse in the Bronx

With Sam Goodman

[In-person tour] Learn more about one of New York City’s most celebrated boulevards, the Grand Concourse of Bronx County. Led by historian Sam Goodman, we will visit numerous buildings as we come to understand the neighborhood’s dynamic history. We’ll examine why this community was built, why it thrived and why it still remains a place where hope and aspiration sustains those who reside here today. While good weather is never a certainty, what is certain is that your perceptions of the Grand Concourse and its people will be forever changed after this neighborhood tour.

In-person tours are limited to 25 attendees and are held outdoors.  Walking tours bring individuals into close proximity with each other, we therefore recommend that all tour goers wear masks during the tours, regardless of vaccination status.  Your tour guide and your fellow tour participants will thank you for your cooperation.  Should the tours happen to venture indoors, many places require masks and/or proof of vaccination, so please be prepared to have both with you.

MAS Walking Tours last approximately 2 hours. Meeting location is provided with registration.
