During the most intense part of the pandemic, I walked every block of the Upper West Side. I was amazed at all the treasures that I found! Please join me for a tour of the ones between West 86th and 95th Streets. They include gorgeous synagogues; a former stable that is now home to one of NYC’s most prominent ballet companies; a block that looks like an English Tudor village; and buildings that were occupied by great writers, musicians, and civil rights activists. Our last stop commemorates an 1897 event that has become a part of every holiday season. A special stop which we can only do in late April and early May is the Annual Tulip Festival at the West Side Community Garden.
