tours

Along a stretch of midtown Manhattan streets less than a mile in length stand some of the most important buildings in the country. In this compact area, the world's most influential architects gave birth to American Modernism, built its undisputed triumphs, and sang its swan songs. If you and your group would be interested in hearing the fascinating story of the rise and fall of Modernism in New York on a walk through some of my personal favorite works of Architecture, you couldn't find a more fun, knowledgeable, or enthusiastic guide. Please contact me whenever you'd like, and I'll be happy to discuss details and tailor an experience to exactly suit your needs and interests.
