Upper Fifth Avenue

[In-person tour] The northern blocks of Fifth Avenue are a quasi-institutional acropolis, a cluster of regal museums and medical organizations that settled on Central Park at the start of the 20th century. Join architectural historian Matt Postal for a look at a varied group of distinguished artworks and edifices, including the Academy of Medicine, the Heckscher Foundation for Children (now Museo El Barrio), and Flower-Fifth Avenue Hospital. Our route also includes a peek inside the Conservatory Gardens, which displays relics from two lost Gilded Age mansions. We conclude at the new (and acclaimed) Davis Center at the Harlem Meer in Central Park.
