This is a short walk on Central Park West — short on distance, but long on New York City history, architecture and social life. The four architectural gems are the Dakota, Langham, San Remo and Majestic. These buildings comprise entire blockfronts adjacent to each other between 71st and 75th streets. Built over a span of five decades beginning in the 1880s, they are very different in style. On this walk, we will talk about their impact on the city. Jack has been studying and exploring Central Park and its surroundings for over 60 years, the last 13 as a volunteer with the Central Park Conservancy.
