Medieval Manhattan!

Janes Walk

Led By Rhonda Asher

See Medieval architectural references in Hamilton Heights! Gothic and Romanesque styles, grotesques and gargoyles! The details tell tales about history. On this two-mile uptown pilgrimage, we’ll see how the architecture and the neighborhood itself reveal stories about music, poetry, and saints, as well as about water, stone, and reconstructed structures. We’ll visit a college campus, look at church exteriors, and stroll residential streets on this Medieval-inspired walk.

Nearest subway is the A,B,C,D station at 145th. When exiting the station, walk south on St. Nicholas Ave to 141st. See you there!
