New York City is home to an amazing concentration of creatives in the worlds of literature and art. Manhattan’s Chelsea has been an especially fruitful haven of writerly talent over the decades. This tour will celebrate some of the eclectic writers that have set up shop in this westside Manhattan from Patti Smith to Edith Wharton. We’ll stop by bookstores, parks and hotels, playing games to see who can recall the songs, poems and great works they contributed to the world. Sure to be an engaging, memorable trek around a beloved NYC neighborhood.
Accessibility
Chelsea is located close to several subway lines including the 23rd Street C, E and F lines for participants to make their way to the tour or find their way home afterwards. We'll be covering a small swath of the neighborhood and a handful of sites so it won't be an excessive amount of walking or huge hills. There are sidewalks to walk on. But if someone has a hard time walking, this might be tricky.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
