Secrets and Scandals of Riverside Drive

Janes Walk

SOLD OUT

Led By STEPHANIE AZZARONE AND Robert F. Rodriguez

Riverside Drive is best known for elegance and quiet. But behind its serene facades lie secrets, from intriguing design details to headline-making crimes. This in-person tour will reveal architectural surprises and scandalous stories, alike, including hidden passageways, “spite walls,” the Drive’s only privately owned freestanding mansion, and “a slum with a view.” Along the way you’ll hear about a murderous dentist, a famous mistress, an “imprisoned” husband, and more.
