Kips Bay/Murray Hill

With Zack Rhodes

[In-person tour] The East Side Manhattan neighborhoods of Murray Hill and Kips Bay have played a unique role in the history of New York. With a collection of unique architectural wonders such as the brutalist Kips Bay Towers or the Renaissance style Morgan Library, both neighborhoods have their gems. On this in-person walking tour with Zack Rhodes, we will discover the last unpaved street in Manhattan, the home of the most ardent students of philately, and one of the smallest historic districts in the entire city. Last but not least, we will find out why some New Yorkers affectionately call one of the neighborhoods “Curry Hill”, and why the other has always been a hotbed for medical progress.

In-person tours are limited to 25 attendees and are held outdoors.  Walking tours bring individuals into close proximity with each other, we therefore recommend that all tour goers wear masks during the tours, regardless of vaccination status.  Your tour guide and your fellow tour participants will thank you for your cooperation.  Should the tours happen to venture indoors, many places require masks and/or proof of vaccination, so please be prepared to have both with you.

MAS Walking Tours last approximately 2 hours. Meeting location is provided with registration.
